Mark Zuckerberg might be forced to leave Facebook
Social media giant Facebook is reportedly being coerced to by some shareholders to remove founder Mark Zuckerberg from the board of directors of the company. According to a VentureBeat report, a proposal has been filed to replace Zuckerberg, who has been on the board since 2012, with an independent chairperson who can carry the company forward with better corporate governance and pro-shareholder agenda. The idea, according to the report, was initiated by a watchdog group of shareholders called SumOfUs. It is an online group which holds firms accountable for various issues that big companies face, including worker rights, discrimination, corruption among other things.
In the proposal, Intel's former chair Andrew Grove was quoted as saying, "The separation of the two jobs goes to the heart of the conception of a corporation. Is a company a sandbox for the CEO, or is the CEO an employee? If he's an employee, he needs a boss, and that boss is the board. The chairman runs the board. How can the CEO be his own boss?"
According to the VentureBeat report, this move came following a petition filed by 3,33,000 people who asked for the removal of Zuckerberg as the Chairperson of the board of directors. Meanwhile, apparently, only 1,500 among that whopping number were shareholders.
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg who is the founder and CEO of Facebook will hardly be affected by this move by SumOfUs as he owns a considerable amount of the company shares, and has a big say in the decision making ways of the company. Additionally, the social media giant is nowhere close to making losses which are generally the main reason when such a big decision happens in big corporates.
The proposal, which VentureBeat posted, claims that "We believe the combination of these two roles in a single person weakens a corporation's governance,which can harm shareholder value." The proposal added, "We believe that independent board leadership would be particularly constructive at Facebook as our company faces increasing criticism regarding its perceived role in the promotion of misleading news; censorship, hate speech and alleged inconsistencies in the application of Facebook's community standards guidelines and content policies.."

Samsung just unveiled three brand new Galaxy phones
Samsung had a better than expected holiday season despite the loss of its flagship smartphone for the second half of the year, the Galaxy Note 7. While Apple’s iPhones collectively accounted for an estimated 44% of all holiday activations while Samsung phones accounted for just 22%, Samsung’s estimated share of activations during the period actually climbed 1% compared to the holidays in 2015. But now, all attention turns to the future and Samsung is wasting no time in the new year. Early Monday morning, Samsung took the wraps off of three different Galaxy smartphone models that will begin launching just a few weeks from now: The Galaxy A7, Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3.

Although most Android fans are dying to know exactly what Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S8 has in store for us, the Galaxy S series is just one piece of a much larger smartphone portfolio for Samsung. And before we get to the Galaxy S8 in 2017, Samsung has several other new handsets to show the world. First among them are a trio of sleek metal smartphones that fit into the company’s Galaxy A lineup.
While all three phones feature similar metal designs, they vary rather dramatically in terms of size and specs. The high-end Galaxy A7, pictured above on the far-left, sports a large 5.7-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, a 1.9GHz octa-core processor, dual 16-megapixel camera (front and rear), a 3,600 mAh battery, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and microSDXC support up to 256GB.
The mid-size Galaxy A5, pictured above in the middle, features a smaller 5.2-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, a 1.9GHz octa-core processor, dual 16-megapixel camera (front and rear), a 3,000 mAh battery, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and microSDXC support up to 256GB. Finally, the smaller Galaxy A3 (top left) includes a 4.7-inch 720p Super AMOLED screen, a 1.6GHz octa-core CPU, a 13-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, a 2,350 mAh battery, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and microSDXC support up to 256GB.
“At Samsung, we are always trying to ensure our customers have the most advanced products on the market,” said Samsung’s mobile boss DJ Koh. “The latest Galaxy A series is a testament to this. We integrated our unique approach to design as well as the features Galaxy customers have come to love to provide added performance without compromising on style.”
All three Galaxy A series smartphones feature IP68 dust and water resistance, as well as the Android 6.0.16 Marshmallow operating system. They’ll begin rolling out in Russia in early January, followed by launches in additional markets.
