Facebook denies shutdown rumors

Facebook users won't have to worry anymore, because the popular social networking site has denied that it would shut down its operations come March 15.

"We didn't get the memo about shutting down, so we'll keep working away like always," Facebook said on its status posted eight hours ago.

Rumors about the supposed shutdown began spreading this weekend when an article published on the Weekly World News, a news-parody website, reported that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had announced at a press conference: “Facebook has gotten out of control and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness."

The networking site, however, denied the news and even hinted that it plans to expand rather than shut down its operations.

"We aren't going anywhere; we're just getting started," it said.

A research by GMANews.TV indicated that there are 583.6 million Facebook users around the world, around 19 million or 3.27 percent of which are Filipinos.

How to Save Fuel in your Car

Only buy or fill up your car or bike during early morning, when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks underground. The colder the ground, the more dense the fuel. When it gets warmer, petrol expands. So, buying in the afternoon or in the evening, your liter is not exactly a liter. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature play an important role. 1 degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. Another important tip is to fill up when your tank is HALF FULL.
