A Facebook data scientist has laughed off recent research by Princeton University which claimed that the social network giant would lose 80% of its users in the next few years. According to the model the Princeton researchers used, Princeton University would be extinct by the end of the decade and our entire planet will vanish by 2060. That last prediction is based on declining searches for the word "air" on Google.

Improving its ability to find treasure amid junk offers Facebook a chance to topple Google from the throne as the king of search.
