Winklevoss Twins Finally Give Up Fighting Facebook

An anonymous reader writes "Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's former Harvard classmates Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, who accuse him of stealing their idea for the social network, have decided not to appeal to the Supreme Court.

Why not?

I'd have done it, just for kicks. What other excitement exists in the life of a multi-millionaire, besides suing each other and being sued?
