Frank Frankovsky

Facebook is the world s largest social network. It takes enormous amounts of computing power to let people worldwide share photos, chat and post their thoughts. Frankovsky leads a consortium that is slowly changing the way computer hardware is built, putting designs into the hands of the users (like Facebook) instead of the vendors (like Dell or HP). He wants his organization to do for hardware what Linus Torvalds and Linux did for software, and he s having a lot of success.
