1. Man of the hour
Focus today will be on Facebook, after the company's co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced plans to give away 99% of his Facebook shares to celebrate the birth of his new daughter, Maxima Chan Zuckerberg.
He will keep his majority stake in Facebook, and thus voting control, for the foreseeable future. Money from the shares, currently valued at $45 billion, will go to projects and charities that advance human potential and promote equality.
Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan announced the plan on Tuesday. The donations will take place over their lifetime.
