Mark Zuckerberg said “I do” to public stock options and a lovely bride this week, while Apple tried to convince Cupertino residents they’d like a gigantic new off-limits campus in their city.

One mother invented a genius punishment for her daughter’s wayward Facebook behavior, while orthodox Jewish men whipped themselves into a frenzy trying to fix the Internet.

And even though summer is upon us, “Winter Is Coming” to Facebook — a “Game of Thrones” game is on the way.

Mark Zuckerberg Ties the Knot

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had a huge weekend — in addition to the social media juggernaut’s IPO, Zuckerberg married his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan in a secret backyard ceremony on Saturday.

Despite the social media scion’s huge IPO payday, the wedding was an understated, intimate affair with less than 100 people, who thought they were coming to a party celebrating Chan’s graduation from medical school.

Over 1 million Facebook users “liked” the couple’s updated marital status, suggesting that no matter how the company’s stock does, Zuckerberg will continue to have well-wishers.

Orthodox Jews Launch Anti-Internet Protest

40,000 male orthodox Jews congregated at the New York Mets’ Citi Field to protest the Internet. Women observed the events from Brooklyn and and New Jersey at “viewing parties,” to keep with the religion’s gender-segregated behavioral norms.

The men at the event gathered to discuss the dangers of the Internet and how they could protect their communities. They believe society is damaged by exposure to pornography and reliance on impersonal forms of communication like Twitter.

The New York Times reported that the rabbinical group sponsoring the event is connected to a software company that blocks offensive websites, and that the rally decided that all orthodox Jews should install that type of software.

Game of Thrones Game Coming to Facebook

Facebook’s gaming landscape will gain a lot of courtly intrigue once Disruptor Beam releases its upcoming Game of Thrones game for the social media site.

Game of Thrones, based on the series “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin, and now a popular show on HBO, pits noble houses against each other in an bloody, political epic.

The game will allow players to immerse themselves in the rich fictional world of Westeros, where the Iron Throne sits. No release date is set yet, but the game will put players in the middle of the action and allow them to choose a political alliance.

Mother Invents Unique Facebook Punishment for Daughter

A mother angered by her underage daughter’s decision to post photos with alcohol-related content decided upon an appropriate punishment.

ReShonda Tate Billingsley, an author, decided to use Facebook to make her daughter learn a lesson about posting inappropriate content online.

She made her daughter pose for a picture with a sign reading “Since I want to post photos of me holding liquor I am obviously not ready for social media and will be taking a hiatus until I learn what I should + should not post. BYE-BYE.”

Apple Puts Positive Spin on Giant, Exclusive Spaceship Campus

Apple is building an enormous new campus in Cupertino, Calif. Unlike its other facilities, this campus will be entirely off-limits to non-employees, and it will look like a giant spaceship.

Despite the fact that it doesn’t clearly benefit people in the community, Apple is trying to get the neighborhood excited for the potentially loud and obnoxious construction project. CFO Peter Oppenheimer sent out a brochure asking neighbors what they thought of the upcoming project.

Residents are concerned about an increase in traffic, but the city of Cupertino is enthusiastic about the project.
