Winklevoss twins lose Facebook appeal over site idea

A US appeals court has ruled that twin brothers who say the idea for Facebook was stolen from them by Mark Zuckerberg cannot back out of a settlement deal they made with the website.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss had asked in January to re-open a $65m (£42m) legal settlement signed in 2008.
The twins say Mr Zuckerberg stole their idea after he was hired by them to code their ConnectU site in 2003.
