Political Discussions Ruining Facebook and Friendships

A study shows “users who try to talk about politics on Facebook are often surprised by the political opinions of their acquaintances“.

Because Facebook not only has a low threshold for “friending” another person but also can bridge together many social groups with a single person’s post, it can be a breeding ground for alienation and resentment.

Yay, it’s working. 😀

Looking Up Crash Reports In OS X

If you find yourself–like me–in the situation that your Mac has crashed and you want to retrieve the crash reports (some call them logs 😉 )? Well, there are basically two ways.

You can look them up with the “Console” tool (find it in 

/Applications/Utilities/Console

  or with Spotlight). Open the “System Diagnostic Reports” section on the left and find an entry similar to 

Kernel_<date>_<your_pc_name>.panic

  at the top.

You can also find these reports as text files under 

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

with the same names. OS X will open them with the Console tool per default.

Cheers. 😀

“I’m a chicken.”

– Fun?!? … Pinkie Pie, you’re a genius!
+ No, I’m not. I’m a chicken. B‘gawk!

This piece from the “Luna Eclipsed” episode cracked me up. 😀 Sometimes you have to wonder how people come up with these dialogs. In this instance it fit so perfectly … especially with the build-up towards that point … genius!

It even allows to link to my favorite Wikipedia article. 😉
