You’ve been reading that Facebook took the first steps toward an IPO, and whether  you’re planning to buy in or not there are something you can learn from the filing. 

Matt Nesto and Jeff Macke have gone through the filing and below (or in the video) detailed 3 ways Facebook plans to exploit you to justify their plans to increase revenues, profit, and valuation.

1. Facebook is going to "sell" users for $120 each

2. Facebook users are about to become billboards

3. The IPO is as much a Public Relations coup as a Share offering

"Extra" counts down five of the most anticipated 2012 Super Bowl commercials

Since you will have a hard time hearing and watching everything while you're drunk this weekend.  Here is the full VW commercial for the Super Bowl.

In case you missed it, someone with entirely too much time on his hands figured out the exact day that Ice Cube was talking about in "It Was A Good Day."  He claims that January 20th, 1992 is in fact, that day.  Here is his math.

According to his research, January 20th, 1992 is the only day where:

1.)  "Yo! MTV Raps" was on air.

2.)  It was a clear and smogless day in Los Angeles.

3.)  Beepers were commercially available.

4.)  The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Seattle SuperSonics.

5.)  And Ice Cube had no events to attend, and was free to chill.

Here is the revision.  Someone else with entirely too much time on his hands claims that the day is in fact November 30th, 1988.  He claims 1992 would've been too late, because of the lyrics about how he's trying to nail someone he's wanted to have sex with since the 12th grade.  In 1992, Cube was engaged to his current wife Kim, and they'd already had a kid together.  So, if the lyric wasn't about Kim, that means he was rapping about cheating on her, essentially.

However, Cube and Kim reportedly started dating in 1988 . . . so assuming the lyric WAS about her, the November 30th, 1988 date would make much more sense.

Interestingly enough, the first guy did have November 30th, 1988 as one of his possibilities, but he ruled it out because it's TOO EARLY.  The song talks about "getting a beep" . . . and he argues that beepers weren't readily available at the time.

I think the real take away here is that we should be very careful about calling Ice Cube a cheater...or thinking too deeply into rap lyrics.  Also that we could all use more work to do.
