[Book Review] Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay by Mira Kirshenbaum

Rating: 3.5/5

Genre: Non-fiction

Book Review

Do you know the term “Relationship ambivalence”? It is a state where you feel that your relationship is too good to leave, and, at the same time, you also feel that your relationship is too bad to stay. You feel like screwed up if you make either of the choices. So you don’t decide. You leave it to fate. You wait for the sign to tell you what to do. It may take months, years, or even decades for that sign to come. When the sign came, you’d ask yourself, why did’t I see this coming?, why have I waited for so long?,...

On the other hand, if might find the sign which convince you that your relation ship is too good to leave. And again, when the sign comes, you'd ask yourself,  why have I had to live with uneasy feeling, when the only problems in my relationship are so little and trivial and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with my relationship.

Google Map/Google Earth

The day Google Earth came out, the whole world was stunned. It's the first time we see the useful (and dangerous) civilian application. Starting from seeing the world, we can zoom in and see countries, districts, villages, and houses (including yours).

This is what you see
when you turn on Google Earth

This is What you see
When you look for a city

[Book-Thai] Facebook คืออะไร? ทำไม Facebook จึงประสพความสำเร็จ

“We’re utility. We’re trying to increase the efficiency to which people can understand their world. We’re not trying to maximize the time spent on our site. We’re trying to help people have a good experience and get the maximum amount out of that time.”--Mark Zuckerberg

ตัวตนของเราออนไลน์

จุดเด่นของ Facebook คือการใช้ตัวตนจริงๆของเรา อันนี้ก็ต่างจาก Social Network Services อื่นๆก่อนหน้านี้ซึ่งคนมักจะสร้างนามแฝงขึ้นมาใช้แทนตัวเอง อันนี้ไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราไม่สามารถใช้นามแฝงในการสร้าง Facebook Account แต่เนื่องจาก Facebook ถูกสร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อพัฒนาการสื่อสารระหว่างคนที่เรารู้จัก การใช้นามแฝงจะทำให้เราได้ประโยขน์จาก Facebook น้อยมาก

ตัวอย่างง่ายๆคือ ในสังคม Facebook เรามักจะยอมรับคนๆนึงเป็นเพื่อน ถ้าเรารู้จักเขาอยู่แล้ว หรือเขาเป็นเพื่อนของเพเพื่อนเรา (ซึ่งเราสามารถดูได้จากรายชื่อเพื่อน ในหน้า profile ของเพื่อนเรา) ถ้ามีคนที่ใช้นามแฝงเข้าไป เพื่อนๆอาจจะไม่รู้จักเขา และไม่รับเขาเป็นเพื่อนใน Facebook ก็ได้

Windows 8!, What a Nice UI!

I just have a quick view at Windows 8. I really like its user interface! It's like a whole new world. What do you think?

To My FB's Friend, It's time to change password!

I first heard about this from Security Now shows that Symantec discovered the tokens to access your Facebook account has leaked. 

Bad News:

If you use Facebook app  and you gave that apps an access to your profile, you might want to read this. Usually, such the apps need to access your profile from times to times (e.g., post on the wall). The apps do not use your password to access your profile. They use Facebook-issued tokens to access your profile. The bad news is these token are leaked. Now, hackers can do whatever your apps can do. 

Good News: 

The fix is simple just change your Facebook's password. Then, Facebook will reissue the tokens to all your apps. The old tokens that hackers might get a hold of would expire.

List of MAC OSX Command Line

I just find a very useful site which contains a list of MAC OSX command line. Check out [ here ].


Command Line Interface
Terminal is a useful utility, which allows advanced users to work with command line interface (CLI). A lot of programmers prefer this mode due to its flexibility to customize things.

Even for semi-advanced users, Terminal looks scary. One of the problems is that you don't know the command name and their syntax. Documentation is long and some time hard to read. But for sure, it require a lot of effort to comb through the documentation to get what you do using CLI. So a lot of users just give up using CLI.
