I actually found the last line:

Facebook paid [ConnectU] $65m to go away.

to be the most interesting. I don't follow the Facebook story very closely, but I had no idea that much money changed hands over the ConnectU thing.

So you never followed the story very closely, but are suprised by some of the facts in the story? I never really read much physics, but was surprised to learn that Gravity = 9.8m/s/s. Does that make much sense?
