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. 😀
There are no words to describe this talk, just watch it!
Or maybe there are … those of the presenter himself: “A bad programmer talks about bad programming.”
It seems on Facebook sending a link to a page with a “Like” button in a private message will be counted as a public “like” from you. You’re welcome.

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. 😀
– 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. 😉
How this “cyber expert” embarrasses herself is priceless. I laughed so hard my stomach hurts. xD
Of course ads are what people enjoy most on Facebook. So now we bring you: auto-play video ads. You’re welcome. 😀
Remember the message you wrote on Facebook, but never hit “send”? … Well Facebook certainly does … “for research purposes” :/ … and don’t think the other ad-financed networks do any better.
1.2 million tweets were sent out by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to smear opposition leaders, and 23 million tweets were spread by the Defense Ministry’s Cyberwarfare Command to tip the scale in favor of current President Park Geun-hye.

Oh, no … Who could’ve known this was even possible?!? :/
Update 2015-02-11:
The former chief of the NIS was sentenced to three years of prison for trying to manipulate the 2012 presidential election.
