Efter den senaste veckans dramatiska utveckling i Ukraina beslutar nu Ryssland att kalla hem sin ambassadör från landet, ”för konsultationer”, rapporterar AFP. Den ryska utrikesministern Sergej Lavrov säger att oppositionen förlitar sig på våld.

McGruber writes "In a post on the Flyertalk website, WhatsApp founder Jan Koum provides another interesting detail about how he steered Whatsapp into a $16 billion deal with Facebook: 'we announced the deal with Facebook on wednesday after the market closed. during the process, we realized there was a chance we might not be able to get the deal wrapped up and signed on wednesday and it could delay. when the risk of the delay became real, i said: "if we don't get it done on wednesday, it probably wont get done. i have tickets on thursday to fly out to Barcelona which i bought with miles and they are not easily refundable or even possible to change. this has to be done by wednesday or else!!!"...and so one of the biggest deals in tech history had to be scheduled around my M&M award ticket"
