We can now safely assume that every single golfer who can afford to play can also afford a smart phone. If nothing else, Apple made sure of that.

A near-term filing isn't much of a surprise, given that the number of private Facebook shareholders apparently rose above 500 by the end of last year. At that point, regulations require a company to reveal financial information, so Facebook figures it might as well raise money in the process--as much as $10 billion by many accounts.
