    When Facebook filed for its initial public offering in February, Mark Zuckerberg wrote a frank letter to potential investors in the firm. "Facebook was not originally created to be a company," he began. His letter bears a resemblance to the note that Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin wrote to investors in 2004.

  • Flawed gizmos try again with skeptical users May 19, 2012 12:00 AM
    I've been watching the fates of three products that stumbled at the starting gate. In two cases, the companies forthrightly owned up to the problems, suffering short-term pain but earning credibility points — and perhaps a second chance — with the gadget-buying public.

It then sent signals to a computer, which translated them into commands for the robot arms.
