Week in review: Facebook movie opens

The Facebook docudrama “The Social Network” opened Friday to rave reviews.
Movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes says 97% of critics gave it a positive review. Rival review aggregator Metacritic also gives it a 97 out of 100.
The following is a roundup of my recent stories from Investor’s Business Daily at Investors.com and Click, IBD’s Tech Blog.
