Lessons from the tech elite: eat carrots, shower more and tape up your webcam

A celebratory Instagram post by Mark Zuckerberg revealed that the Facebook CEO covers his webcam to make it hacker-proof. What other useful tricks can the titans of big tech teach us?

Mark Zuckerberg has taped up his webcam. A photo he posted online yesterday, ostensibly to demonstrate his happiness at Instagram's user growth, shows that he has placed a small square of masking tape over his laptop's camera. This presumably shows that he is nervous about hackers gaining control of the webcam and exposing all his secrets. And since Zuckerberg is smarter than you, it probably means that you should tape up yours as well.

But Zuckerberg is not the only tech CEO with odd habits that you should replicate in the pursuit of unstoppable success. Here's what else you should do if you really want to make it.
