Building out a whole phone wouldn't really make much sense for us to do - Mark Zuckerberg

Facebook founder and internet entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg stated that fielding a Facebook-based smartphone is not the answer.

'Building out a whole phone wouldn't really make much sense for us to do,' the CEO exclaimed.

Zuckerberg explained that the social network is currently the most used app on all current mobile platforms, and bringing out a Facebook smartphone is not an adequate solution

Although Facebook’s mobile users have surged over the years with approximately 540 million users, from its current 955 million user base, accessing the website through a phone.

The Facebook founder, in a conference call to investors, revealed losses of 100 million pounds in the company’s first earnings reports since its IPO in May

Investors are concerned over the social networking website’s ability to generate revenue from mobile advertising.

Facebook also revealed earnings of 750 million pounds, 20 million pounds more than expected by analysts.

Jordyn Weiber: A World Champion's Dream shattered

Defending world champ, knocked out of all-around Olympic competition in London

Jordyn Wieber cries after her last routine during the women's qualifications during the London Olympics at North Greenwich Arena on Sunday.

In a development that was equally stunning in the gymnastics world and devastating for Jordyn Wieber, the U.S. gymnast from DeWitt and reigning world champion could not qualify for the Olympic all-around final.

On a day, when She was touted as the strongest Gold contingent for the all around, could not even qualify for the finals, while team mates Ali Raisman & Gabby Douglas surpassed her to the Finals.

Wieber stepped out of bounds on her floor exercise and had a few other wobbly moments, but still finished with a strong score of 60.032 – the third-best of the day at North Greenwich Arena.

It’s just that the top three scores all belong to Americans, and only two from each team can advance to the all-around final. Raisman got a 15.325 on the floor exercise to finish with the top score (60.391), with Gabby Douglas taking the second spot at 60.265.
