The Zuckerberg Theory - The Dumb Fuck Conundrum

"They trust me - dumb fucks" said Zuckerberg, in an interview first published by former Valleywag Nicholas Carlson at Silicon Alley Insider and confirmed by Zuckerberg himself in Jose Antonio Vargas's New Yorker piece. The fact that we stand the numerous, pointless, idiotic changes in Facebook makes us, really, "dumb fucks".

A two step strategy to get back your Facebook wall: 1. Install the Timeline Remover add-on (Firefox); 2. Install the oldnewsfeed add-on (also on Firefox); 3. Go to bed thinking that by following the first two steps you managed to wipe Zuckerberg's smirk off of his face. 4. Think positive thoughts, tomorrow they may come up with some other crap...

About Youtube video shares on Facebook and the dystopian theory

Nope. Two negatives do not equal a positive and you have witnessed that with the nerve-crushing experience of playing a video clip on your Facebook Timeline. First of all, it seems to be a battle of giants going on right now, between YouTube and Facebook, either one denying the other part's respond on their respective server. On the other hand, Windows, as the main operating system in the world, has gone from "hmmm" to "yuk", from XP, through Vista and 7, to Windows 8. Bottom line being that, two years from now, Windows OS will be just like a dust-buster that you would find in the closet at some point and you will have no idea what to make out of it.

As far as concerns the lag on your youtube shared videos on facebook, there's a simple resolve: refresh the page, or press F5 in the browser.

Mark Zuckerberg, you did it again!

<To be fair, the “Who can look up your Timeline by name?” feature was likely misunderstood by lots of people. At first glance, you might assume it means that strangers can’t find your profile. But that’s incorrect. There have been lots of ways to navigate to your profile, like clicking your name on a photo you’re tagged in, finding your name in a friend’s friend list, or combing through Likes on a mutual friend’s News Feed post.> (http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/10/facebook-search-privacy/). 

Well, duh!

Still, for the first time in its whole entire existence, Facebook took a firm step towards the privacy of its clients. It is a subtle maneuver that required a lot of coding and a lot of brilliant minds. Brace yourselves: the "Friends Requests", "Messages" and "Notifications" icons were moved, in a revolutionary procedure, from the the top left of the screen to the top right of the screen. And you do realize that the fact that Facebook bleached your profile would lead your stalker into a dilemma, right? And they'll never, ever be able to navigate to your profile using photo tags or the propagate search code that I was trying to explain in a previous post?

If you do want to maintain your privacy and your friends' privacy, stop tagging the photos, good people. I do know that is very, very hard for some folks to recognize themselves in pictures, but give them a chance, it's a matter of time. And, once again, I urge you to change the default language from English (US) to English (whatever). If the brilliant people at Facebook realized that the only measure to counter-act invasion of privacy was to switch the buttons from left to right, it means that we might have some IQ tests to perform on them, or they don't care, for that matter. And they don't.
