Dispatches From The Internets

URL Inception

It’s like a snake eating its own tail:

https://m.facebook.com/ClydesOnMain?refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FClydesOnMain#!/ClydesOnMain?refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FClydesOnMain

Wonder what’s going on? Well, Facebook’s mobile site (m.facebook.com/ClydesOnMain) is tracking the URL (using the refsrc GET parameter) I came from (www.facebook.com/ClydesOnMain#!/ClydesOnMain)—a single page “web app”, hence the hash-bang: #!—that was tracking the original referral page (www.facebook.com/ClydesOnMain).

I hope they got all that.

Testing The 12-inch MacBook’s Performance with Windows 10

This was in interesting read from Alex King. My favorite quote?

[I]t’s ironic that in some regards, the new MacBook runs Windows 10 (a prerelease version, at that) better than it runs OS X. But it’s a testament to two things: Apple’s fantastic MacBook hardware, which is forward-thinking yet surprisingly agile; and Microsoft’s excellent Windows software, which entices and excites with its beautiful interface, useful new features, and rock-solid UI transitions.

I have Windows 10 running in a VM. I haven’t tried it as a Bootcamp partition yet, but Alex’s finding are intriguing.
