What Apple and Google owes to America? Everything...yet that doesn't stop them evading some taxes, much more than Saverin.

That corporations in America don't pay their share is not the issue. Its an issue, but not the issue.

So we put one individual on the wall, but close our eyes when it comes to corporations which are doing the same thing more or less?

Saverin is paying his taxes.

Soap operas on HN heh? As long as he is a law abiding citizen I don't see what business anyone has with what he does or where he lives.

The OP isn't making a legal argument, he's making a moral/ethical argument.

> he had some pretty terrible ideas for Facebook, including his plan to show interstitial ads when you went to add a friend

For anyone who doesn't know the what term "interstitial" means (I didn't!):

    interstitials are web pages displayed before or after 
    an expected content page, often to display 
    advertisements or confirm the user's age (prior 
    to showing age-restricted material)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_webpage

I wonder if this was something he actually tried to get implemented, or simply threw out there when they were thinking up monetisation strategies - if the latter it seems a bit harsh to pick him up on it!
