[hostmaster]

Facebook is buying mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion in cash and stock, by far the company's largest acquisition and bigger than any that Google, Microsoft or Apple have ever done.

Its amazing a company that big cannot come up with a decent chat program on PC or mobile. Also I'm not sure why they would want whatsapp. It will fall to BBM once all of the features make it to android/iphone.

If Zuckerberg had any business acumen at all they would've already created some sort of App or Facebook feature that could send free texts and make free calls. People wouldn't need to use WhatsApp then and they could've saved themselves a lot of money.

A wise-man once told me that there is no point of arguing with someone if the other person already made up their mind and is not ready to listen to you , and just wants to prove himself  right.. ! so Bro I'll say  You are right I'm wrong and sorry for making some sense .. thats it PEACE  

A wise-man once told me to not argue with idiots and people who confuse their opinions with facts too. You made little sense and seemed to be confused trying to prove points that were irrelevant to the discussion.

There you go mixing your opinion with fact again. I never said I was a fan, but you obviously seem to dislike it so much that it's clouding your judgement. All my points are valid, you just can't seem to comprehend this. There's really no need to act like a bitch when someone has a differing opinion, but whatever.

Why? Are you sexist?

no but I always keep some room for humor, you can call me whatever you want. ..!

Facebook always wants to remove its competition either by buying them out or if they cant beat them join them.

It is sexiest. And if you think that's even remotely funny then you honestly have a pathetically immature and feeble mind. You can also change that image to your username and it makes more sense.

$19B is a lot of cash for silly communication app, and it shows how undervalued the bitcoin technology is.
