Computer Tech

The Resume

    (December 3, 1979- )
    Born in Virginia
    Computer technician and entrepreneur
    Early investor of music file sharing service Napster and social networking site Facebook
    Famously portrayed by actor and singer Justin Timberlake in 'The Social Network (2010)'

Why he might be annoying:

    At age 16, he was sentenced to community service for hacking.
    He drew ire from record label companies for helping numerous teenagers illegally download music files via Napster.
    Despite what the 'Social Network' suggests, he was not a co-founder of Napster.
    Rumor has it that he inspired Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg to inscribe the phrase 'I'm CEO, bitch!' on the back of the company's business cards.
    He was forced to resign from Facebook after he was arrested in 2005 for cocaine possession.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father taught him about computers at the tender age of seven.
    He launched Plaxo, a social networking site that predated Facebook by roughly two years (2002).
    He joined Peter Thiel of The Founders Fund and eventually invested in a small share of Facebook.
    He donated $100,000 in campaign funds toward Proposition 19, a measure that would legalize small amounts of marijuana for recreational use.
    Even though Parker says the film exaggerated his mannerisms and lifestyle, he said that he wished his life was 'as cool as it was in the film.'
