Winklevoss twins lose Facebook legal challenge, must abide by settlement, court rules
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who claimed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea, cannot get out of the settlement they reached with Facebook, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday.
The Winklevoss twins, along with Divya Narendra, had agreed in 2008 to settle their claims, but had hoped a legal appeal would overturn the settlement, now worth in excess of $160 million because of the soaring value of the privately held company.
For the last six years, the Winklevosses have been brawling with Facebook over their contention that Zuckerberg ripped off his Harvard classmates to build the world's most popular social networking site.
A lower court had enforced the settlement.
Acer unveils new logo
The "fresh new logo" as Acer calls it is suppose to "distinguish" the company from their competitors. The company has also introduced a new typeface.
Ggreen is lighter and brighter and the more rounded new shape looks a lot safer for kids to play around with, should the occasion ever arise, Acer said.

The last time was in 2001, when we spun-off our contract manufacturing business to focus on our brand business,” Acer said in a statement. In this new stage, Acer will focus on creating customer value and strengthening its brand.

The eightieth issue of COLORS celebrates the Superheroes of our day: men and women, weak or strong, rich or poor, all united by a common wish: the good of people and of the world. "Real" people who do extraordinary things for others, and who, in different ways, contribute to improving society.
In the cartoon world, characters like Batman, Wonder Woman or Superman fight the baddies using their superpowers, alter egos and exceptional abilities, but unfortunately only in our imagination. COLORS has met some real-life superheroes, who face the baddies of our everyday world with courage and self-sacrifice: the damage caused by the collapse of economies and by rampant pollution, the destruction caused by wars, the poverty of ignorance and atrocities.
