Facebook image uploader changes

Submitted by lcadmin on Sat, 02/06/2010 - 15:51
I surely hope this is the last fb update for a little while. Everytime I teach a class on fb, everything changes! LOLSo, many of us (including myself and probably 85% of my friends who post images to fb) have been having problems with the uploader, especially with firefox (firefox, you used to be so dependable, but that is another post....) We've updated java, done all of the other magic tricks, but no luck. Of course, alot of us have had all sorts of issues with fb (nothing like a new version rolling out to cause breaks in current functionality...).

Facebook changes (more new ones!)

Submitted by lcadmin on Fri, 02/05/2010 - 15:25
Just in case you weren't one of the 800000 to be surprised with a new version of facebook yesterday, you can read all about it at mashable. Also, lots of broke stuff at facebook today: likes missing, PM not working, etc.Sigh. I wish they would give us a bit of break before they roll out a new change, or perhaps, allow us to opt into the new change, instead of just surprising it on people. My mom already has the new version, but no one else I know does. I know, my mom!

HP's goal to connect the physical world to computing as never before," using so-called "smart dust" sensors to enable "buildings that manage their own energy use, bridges that sense motion and metal fatigue, cars that track traffic patterns and report potholes, and fruit and vegetable shipments that tell grocers when they ripen and begin to spoil."
