Facebook Acquires WhatsApp for $19 Billion

Facebook has reached an agreement to buy online messaging service WhatsApp in a deal worth $19 billion to the small startup. Under the terms of the deal, Facebook will pay $4 billion in cash, $12 billion in stock and $3 billion in restricted stock to WhatsApp’s founders and employees.

According to its website, the WhatsApp messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app that allows people to exchange messages without having to pay for text messages. 

The app allows users to exchange unlimited free text messages, including recorded voice messages, and boasts nearly 450 million users per month and nearly 1 million sign-ups daily. The app is free to download, and is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows phone and Nokia.

There is no cost to download the app itself; the messaging service offers a free trial year, followed by a subscription cost of $0.99 per year.

“WhatsApp is on a path to connect 1 billion people,” Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement. “The services that reach that milestone are all incredibly valuable.”

Zuckerberg said the app will continue to operate independently within Facebook, and will complement the social network’s existing chat and messaging service. WhatsApp co-founder and CEO Jan Kaum will also join Facebook’s board.

A couple received a letter from their daughter who went to study modern physics overseas, the letter read:

"My beloved Parents, I miss you so much and it breaks my heart to think that by the time I get back you'll be too old. So enclosed you'll find a bottle of potion I have invented. It will make you young, so when I return you'll be the same age as I left you. 

NOTE: Please take only a drop"

So they opened the envelope and in it there is a bottle with a red potion. the man looked at the wife and says: "You go first." (typical of men!)

So the wife takes a drop thereafter, the husband follows. Indeed the wife turn five years younger. Years later the daughter returns home to find her mother young and pretty, carrying a baby on her back. The mother proceeds to tell her daughter how the potion worked and made her look young.

The daughter was delighted and asks after her dad.

MOTHER: Your father? Hmm, my child, your father was so jealous that I was so young and beautiful so he drank the whole bottle.

DAUGHTER: What? So where is he?

MOTHER: Hahaha, who do you think is the baby on my back?
