Einbrecher geschnappt, weil er beim Einbruch Facebook checkte – und sich nicht ausloggte

500x_facebook-thief

Ich vermeide hier ja Storys von dämlichen Kriminellen, aber das hier ist zu gut: Ein Einbrecher wurde geschnappt, weil er beim Einbruch Facebook checkte, ja, auf dem Rechner des Einbruch-Opfers, – und vergessen hatte, sich auszuloggen. Fail!

According to The Journal, a 19-year-old Pennsylvania man was arraigned earlier this week on a charge of felony daytime robbery. How did police catch him? Simple: the burglar left a trail, by way of checking his Facebook account before leaving the house with two diamond rings and forgetting to log out.

Genesis in Gottes Facebook

Jemand hat die superstrange Story der Genesis, in der ein Overlord mit weißem Rauschebart Licht und Erde und sowas produziert, in Facebook nachgestellt. Ich finde ja, es sollten mehr Mythen bei Facebook dekonstruiert werden, aber that’s just me.

Hamlet, written as a series of Facebook entries

Polonius says Hamlet’s crazy … crazy in love!

Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and Hamlet are now friends.

Hamlet wonders if he should continue to exist. Or not.

Hamlet thinks Ophelia might be happier in a convent.

Ophelia removed “moody princes” from her interests.

Hamlet posted an event: A Play That’s Totally Fictional and In No Way About My Family

The king commented on Hamlet’s play: “What is wrong with you?”

Kids machen Flashmobs in fremden Pools via GoogleEarth und Facebook

Diese Idee finde ich einfach grandios: Kids suchen auf GoogleEarth einen Swimming-Pool und verabreden sich per Facebook für nächtliche Pool-Flashmobs. Illegal, natürlich, aber vollkommen wurscht. Das hat was von den Pool-Skating-Sessions der Siebziger, gemasht mit Social Networks und GoogleEarth.

Would-be revellers are using satellite images on the internet to find houses with swimming pools – and then turning up uninvited for an impromptu dip. The craze involves using the Google Earth programme, which provides high-quality aerial photos of Britain and other countries. Once a target is chosen, the organisers use social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo to arrange to meet, say police.

One group has already boasted on the internet that it held an event earlier this week. Sixteen people are said to have gatecrashed two pools near Bournemouth. The rules of ‘dipping’ often include wearing fancy dress and participants are urged to ‘bring a bike’ to escape if discovered. There are fears that the craze could spread across the UK as the weather improves and pool owners leave their homes unattended while on holiday.

Facebook wirbt nicht mit meinem Namen

Weil Facebook mit den Namen seiner User wirbt, hier kurz, wie man einen Facebook-Account löscht in drei einfachen Schritten:

Schritt 1: Account deaktivieren.

Schritt 2: Antwort von Facebook ignorieren und so eine Mail an den Support schreiben:

hi guys,
pls immediately delete my account for this email-adress,
blablabla@blubbblubbblubb because of sonstwas.

thanx

Daraufhin kommt sowas:

…Your account is currently deactivated. Deactivation will completely remove your profile and all associated content on your account from Facebook….

Schritt 3: Dieselbe Email nochmal schreiben, gegen deren Ende man ein wenig lauter wird:

hi guys,
immediately delete my account and all attached data for this email-adress,
blablabla@blubbblubbblubb because of sonstwas. do it NOW!

thanx

Daraufhin kommt sowas:

Hi René,

We have deleted your profile information and removed your email address from our login database. Please let me know if you have further questions or concerns.

Thanks

Hartnäckigkeit zahlt sich aus, Mission fulfilled.

Not being on Facebook is the new Facebook
