Mark Zuckerberg likes his privacy, but he’s in an increasingly public battle with a would-be neighbor in Palo Alto, Calif., that threatens to expose details of his personal life and conduct.

New court documents were filed on Wednesday in a continuing lawsuit against Mr. Zuckerberg, the Facebook co-founder and chief executive, revealing a dispute that touches on various hot buttons of boom-time Silicon Valley: privacy, networking, precious real estate, and the pairing of youth and affluence.

In one sworn document, a real estate broker for the man suing Mr. Zuckerberg testified that Mr. Zuckerberg’s own real estate broker referred to him as “just a kid.”

a would-be neighbor...that threatens to expose details of his personal life and conduct

Apparently this is what passes for irony in the Information Age.

waaaa boo hoo, hypocrite!

Sounds like this guy wanted to milk Zuckerberg for his contacts. Zuckerberg should have just paid him the asking price and let it go. It’s not like he can’t afford it.

Check out Bill Whittle’s “Where Do You Live,Mark Zuckerberg?” on you tube...a classic.

Zuckerberg is an obama jock sniffer, so I support anything that causes him grief.

I would think that Zuckerberg could find enough money under his sofa cushions to buy the lot next door and make this go away.

We’re your new neighbors at Del Boca Vista. You try keeping us out? We’re gonna be in the clubhouse. We’re gonna be at the pool. We’re gonna be all over that shuffleboard court!...

Mr. Zuckerberg said he could not match the $4.3 million price. Instead, he expressed an interest in getting a discount on the property and, according to the court filings, “could offer him a relationship if he were to agree to a discount,”

Sounds rather gay

Stealing the neighbor’s WiFi?

So you think the neighbor has the right to do this? I hope not. He should be in jail. How can you hope someone is treated wrongly just because you don’t agree with him in politics?

[matt1234]

In jail?! For what?

Normally, I ignore celebrity gossip, but I would love to see this punk get smacked down big time.

Well, what about him?
