    Facebook’s stock started high, trading at $42 per share, or $4 more than it’s Initial Public Offering of $38. The price wavered throughout the day as 460 millions shares traded hands, setting a new record for IPO trading volume.

    The stock dipped to $38.02 soon thereafter, increasing to $41.70 in the afternoon, before closing at $38.07. After hours, Facebook’s underwriters padded the falling price, leveling out at around $38.27.

    All in all, anyone initial share-holders who sold today made money. Anyone who stayed firm saw the value of their shares increase less than 1%, and they would have seen a net loss if not for Facebook’s bankers.

    Anyone who bought shares today could likely be in for a big disappointment. Any of the cool factor Facebook once had is now in the hands of these people.

    In this age of internet, does anyone know how to do it anymore?? To prepare for a strong mount, it’s important to make someone feel good and comfortable and safe. Make sure to take care of that. Clear some space. You’re going to need some room for proper technique. Also, be mindful of your neighbors. All that hammering around can be inconsiderate if done at odd hours.

  3. If you had any lingering questions about whether or not Facebook still has the cool factor it needs to stay salient, look no further than the crowdsourced “Thank You Facebook song – Dedicated to its FB IPO.” It’s like bad Christian Rock with Facebook in the place of God.

    This is my new jam, you guys.

  4. Facebook officially became a publicly traded company this morning, with shares up 10% moments after the opening bell.

    With the frenzy if investors pouring money into the social network, some are asking if this is another Tulip craze happening in front of our eyes.

    Update: It appears that the Tulip meme is growing.

  5. Yankee Candle has Man Candles now. So, you know, now you can buy candles that smell like ball sweat or something.

    These new promotional videos for Ridley Scott’s new Alien prequel Prometheus seek to further flesh out the universe in which the film is set.

    Looking beyond the fact that the marketing crew involved insists on using the word “viral” as a noun in the video’s title, I actually really enjoy having supplemental media to watch before the movie hits theaters.

  8. I am incredibly excited for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. With every subsequent teaser, trailer, viral video, and behind-the-scenes clip, my excitement has grown exponentially. It’s grown so much that now I worry, no matter how good the movie is, it’ll feel like a letdown. In order to combat this, I’ve decided to tell myself an elaborate series of lies, based on the material that’s been already released, to keep my hopes as low as possible which will hopefully translate to me getting my mind blown out of my head and skull.

  9. I first met Nick Koenig, AKA Hot Sugar, while playing Street Fighter 3 with my friends Brad and Layla. Or maybe it was Katamari Damaci. I forget. We were playing some video game when in walked this dude with the worst haircut I’d ever seen, wearing a coral colored T-shirt with the words “Murder Butt” scrawled on it in black Sharpie.

    I don’t think I spoke more than about 3 words to Nick that night, but I started following his Tumblr the next day, and discovered that he makes some pretty badass music.

    Fast forward to yesterday and Hot Sugar’s newest EP Moon Money has just been released on Ninja Tune. The thing about Hot Sugar that I appreciate is that while he has an all-together unique pallet his songs actually have coherent melodies. Not once does his music strike me as derivative. Unlike 90% of what I hear elsewhere, I never catch myself saying, “this sounds just like…” because it doesn’t sound a whole lot like anything else out there. But at the same time, there’s something oddly familiar yet just beyond the threshold of my ability to recall it.

  10. FHM

    “The nation has spoken… ” begins the lead to FHM’s annual top 100 list. In this case, “the nation” refers to the small subset of men who subscribe to FHM and participate in their polls.

    So you begin with a group of men who’s idea of sexiness is what they see in the magazines, then show them a bunch of pictures from those same magazines, ask them to rank them from most sexy to least sexy, average the results, and call it comprehensive. What you get is a set of women conforming to an average type, lacking in much variety.
