Earlier this week during an
interview at the D8 conference, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg did the unthinkable: after finding the hotseat a little too toasty for his liking, he took off his hoodie. Interviewer Kara Swisher quickly discovered that the hoodie had a mysterious badge stitched on the inside and joked that Zuckerberg was in a cult. And then the Internet went sort of nuts. Tweets abound about Facebook's Illuminati-like status. The folks at SFWeekly managed to
recreate the diagram and did a thorough analysis on what it might mean. The Next Web thought it was
creepy. And back at Facebook HQ, three goats were sacrificed in an attempt to ward off yet another wave of bad press.

This whole Facebook Phone thing just keeps getting weirder and weirder. First,
we broke the story about the project. Then Facebook PR officially denied it, saying our story was "not accurate." Naturally, they were arguing semantics,
as we suspected, and other reports about such a project quickly followed. This led to
a sit down with CEO
Mark Zuckerberg, during which he acknowledged that our leak was "probably accurate." Okay fine, misunderstanding, miscommunication, whatever. But tonight brings another new report about the project. This time, Bloomberg is
reporting that Facebook is working with INQ Mobile on two smartphones that will first hit Europe, and then come to the U.S. to potentially be sold through AT&T. These phones are believed to run on Google's Android operating system, but likely a modified version with
deeper Facebook integration.

It's no secret that HP's
Todd Bradley is one of the leading candidates to succeed ousted CEO
Mark Hurd, and it doesn't look like he was doing much to dissuade that notion at the now happening TechCrunch Disrupt conference. In addition to addressing a question about whether it's ethically wrong to charge so much for ink by responding "ask me next year, if I take the [CEO] position," Bradley also sounded more than a little like a CEO throughout, and made a fair bit of news in the process. That includes a confirmation that HP won't be licensing webOS to other companies, and the attention-grabber of a statement that "emulating Apple is not part of our strategy." As if that wasn't enough, Bradley also made the rather bold promise that HP will sell 15 million webOS-based printers next year alone, and he predicted that tablets will become a $40 billion market within the next few years -- a market that HP plans to enter in a "big way." Head on past the break for a video of the interview.
