Much of the mainstream media continues to blow off the anti-Facebook lawsuit brought by three former friends of Mark Zuckerberg, but that lawsuit continues and the stakes are high.

“In the worst case scenario, this could be a fight for Facebook’s life.”

Ever since Luke O’Brien wrote a hell of a piece about the origins of Facebook for 02138, I’ve been convinced that Zuckerberg did indeed steal the idea for the site.
