Chapter 15 takes place during a lecture by Bill Gates. Mark was so interested in the lecture to notice but, Eduardo saw two girls looking at him. Eventually the two girls came over and asked if Mark was the creator of Facebook. They had no idea who Eduardo was until he informed them. But the girls ended up asking the two of them out. Eduardo and Mark were starting to see the side effects their new site.
Later, the two of them went back to Marks dorm. That was when he received a letter from the Winklevoss twins about Facebook. They basically stated that it was unfair of Mark to set up the website. And if he did not delete the site they were going to use legal action. Mark did not seem to care at all and he was not scared of the Winklevoss twins.
Chapter 16 takes you back to the Winklevoss's point of view. They had already tried getting their dad or other resources to help them but nothing worked. So they decided to set up a meeting with the president of Harvard University. Once inside the office the twins were taken back by the presidents attitude. He did not care a bit about their minuscule problem (even though they spent hours typing up a detailed ten page paper of the emails sent between Mark and why what he did was wrong). They left the meeting feeling worse than they had before and had made no progress.
Even though Eduardo is fine with the recognition he is getting now, I think it will back fire for Mark later. Eduardo paid for the entire thing and Mark is getting all of the attention. Also, I have a feeling that the Winklevoss twins will never get what they want from Mark. At this time Facebook was not making any money. It was just a stolen idea with no contracts or official documents.
