8 Takeaways From Facebook's F8: Mark Zuckerberg Reveals the Company's 10-Year Plan

Is he the Oprah of the digital age?

At the end of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's keynote address at his company's annual F8 developers conference today, he took a page out of Oprah Winfrey's book, sending attendees home with a shiny object they all wanted. And while the 31-year-old wasn't giving away cars, Zuckerberg told the audience of a few hundred in San Francisco they were getting gratis Samsung Gear VR virtual reality headsets and Samsung smartphones to power them.
