Tech: Harvard's student newspaper was hacked to make fun of commencement speaker Mark Zuckerberg (FB)

The Harvard Crimson apparently has been hacked to show fake stories trolling Mark Zuckerberg ahead of the Facebook CEO's commencement address.

Mark Zuckerberg is giving the commencement address at Harvard on Thursday after famously dropping out 12 years ago to create Facebook.
