I think this is mostly one line in which Mark Zuckerberg says something along the lines of "time for a little wget magic". Certainly not a major plot point.

Here's what I think is the relevant scene on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odOzMz-fOOw

Wow, I was surprised on how realistic that was. Maybe I should watch the movie after all.

It's actually quite a good film if you ignore the character assassination of Zuckerberg (not that he really needs defending, just it seems a little cheap).

I don't think it's fair to call it character-assassination. He didn't paint Zuck with a pretty brush, but I'm not sure any first-tier founders made it to where they are without delivering a few cheap blows themselves. There's definitely some sense of admiration for "Zuck the Doer", not "Zuck the Dreamer".

Especially the empty search part. In my experience, the three search terms most likely to return all results are:

  1) %%% (many sites limit the minimum search term length to three so a single % will not do the trick).
  2) '   ' (trhee spaces)
  3) '' (empty string)

Edit: formatting

That's about as much tech talk as there is in the whole movie - you may be disappointed. Bit of a storm in a tea cup I thought.
