KRIS HUMPRIES WANTS TO ANNUL MARRIAGE NOT DIVORCE!!

Image
Thats right KRIS HUMPRIES wants a clean record rather than be seen as a divorcee! And we are not in the least bit surprised! [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="photosource eonline.comphotosource eonline.com"] [/caption] According to people.com, Kris Humphries plans to answer Kim Kardashian 's divorce filing by seeking a legal separation, sources tell PEOPLE. The NBA player likely will file the court papers within days, say the sources. Rather than pursue a divorce as Kardashian has, the NBA player's ultimate intent is to annul the marriage, clearing the record of ever being married to the reality star, the sources say. This would be a change of heart for Humphries. Makes sense to us that he do so why file for divorce? The marriage only lasted 72 days! Did they even consummate the marriage?

This just in Conrad Murray has been sentenced to four years in prison! Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter earlier this month after a six-week trial that presented the most detailed account yet of Jackson's final hours, and how the 58-year-old cardiologist administered the powerful anesthetic propofol to treat the superstar's chronic insomnia. But get this he may not even get to serve his full sentence, why? Because of Jail over crowding! Isn't that a good problem to have?

FACEBOOK IPO REASON TO REWARD EMPLOYEES

Image
Apparently so it seems a lot of  people certainly thought  that Facebook’s initial public offering will be in 2012 owing to the fact that sthe company announced its giant funding round from Goldman Sachs earlier in the year. Here is what Facebook  said in a recent press release  ”expected to pass 500 shareholders at some point in 2011, and therefore expects to start filing public financial reports no later than April 30, 2012.” Public filings don’t necessarily mean a company has to make its stock available for public purchase,but more than likely that would be the case But our the main reason why the company is going public allegedly happens to be : rewarding its large roster of talented employees, who have been waiting years to cash in. Compliance isn’t the primary motive. This is the beauty  of living in Silicon Valley! Get paid for just showing up!   [Image via The Communer .] TechCrunch » Fundings & Exits

BLACK IN AMERICA 4 SILICON VALLEY NOT IMPRESSED BY THE STARTUPS!

by Isy Coker Okay once again let me just say this, I am overtly critical of the documentary black in silicon valley but I have a right to be. Why you may ask? Because Silicon Valley is near and dear to me. It is not some get rich quick place as outsiders may want to portray rather it is a place where the brightest ideas  and determination would get you to the top. A little about me, I have a passion for tech and startups, there is just something terribly sexy if I may say so when you create something out of nothing, especially software; when you have a passion for it it shows!  Prior to graduating from college I was picked up by a major software company with roots in the bay area to join an elite class of 16 individuals trained on the company's software range. Training worth over $60000. Mind you I have been using this  company's software ever since. Got an interest from yahoo for an internship prior to  the arrival of google, and guess what, It did not matter  that I was a pet

CNN: Silicon Valley fights to keep its diversity data secret! Not so fast CNN

Okay unless you have been living under a rock or you are  just a tech phobe you have probably heard about the black in America documentary airing on Sunday! I personally am looking forward to viewing this documentary because I am in as a woman who grew up in the valley in the tech arena, I am fascinated to see how CNN and other outlets create the shock value when it comes to documentaries. The latest according to CNN is this. Silicon valley hides its diversity data. Okay when I graduated from college in the valley,  my class  had only 7 students of African descent out of 2000.

We would still be in the minority. Here is how CNN discussed the lack of diversity
