When Facebook founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg asked Bush Monday why he decided to appear on Facebook, Bush quipped: "Because you've got a lot of people paying attention to us, and I'm trying to sell books." In the hour-long chat webcast on Facebook's live video streaming channel, Bush stood by his vow to not criticize the current administration, but he did respond to a question asking what he thought the Obama administration had handled well. Bush said he thought they'd done well with Afghanistan so far. Bush's book, "Decision Points," was released this month.   — AP

Facebook moves closer to trademarking the word 'face'

NEW YORK (AP) -- Facebook has moved a step closer toward trademarking the word "face" - at least in certain contexts. The company's 2005 application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office received a "notice of allowance" Tuesday, which means Facebook now has six months to show that it uses the trademark and pay a $100 fee, said Cynthia Lynch, administrator for trademark policy and procedure at the agency. Or, it can file for an extension for up to 36 months. Once that's done, the trademark can be approved or rejected. Even if it's approved, Facebook wouldn't have a trademark on "face" in every instance, only in online   chat  rooms   and electronic bulletin boards for the "transmission of messages among computer users in the field of general interest and concerning social and entertainment subject matter," according to the Patent and Trademark Office's database entry on the application. It oddly exempts uses "primarily

Based on a rolling sample over the past year of males and females aged 10 and above across all socioeconomic classes, Metro Manila still showed the highest percentage of Internet users: as many as 40 percent of those surveyed went online in the past month.
