Update: The judge has given the ConnectU founders two weeks to revise their complaint, saying there was "not a factual basis to the majority of the ten claims". This is likely a good sign for Facebook.

Facebook will appear in a district court in Boston, Massachusetts today over the accusation that the site's 23-year-old founder Mark Zuckerberg stole code from his former employers.
Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra, who employed Zuckerberg at their college social network ConnectU for a brief period in 2003, accuse him of stealing the source code and design of that site. The suit was first brought in August 2004 (Facebook had 200,000 registered users back then, says the Times), so claims that they delayed until Facebook was cash rich seem unfounded.
