I echo that sentiment. Enough with the Facebook envy. Whether right or wrong in this from a moral standpoint, there has to be something more productive worth doing with your time than to keep harping on about this sorry issue for the rest of your life.
Maybe you should have "won". Maybe not. We can debate this until kingdom come, to our collective embarrassment. The fact remains, Mark Zuckerberg is Facebook's CEO and you're not. Get over it.

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
(...)
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
