"He’s actually showing investors he doesn’t care that much," said Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities, "...and I think he’s got to show them the respect that they deserve because he’s asking them for their money." It didn't help that Zuckerberg delayed a meeting for an hour, reportedly because he was in the bathroom . More»

Things got off to a late start because Zuckerberg was ... in the bathroom?
