Should i delete my Facebook profile?

Hi guys and gals!
#firstworldproblem
So, i did something really stupid today. I activated Facebook's new layout "Timeline" (this) and i regret doing it. Every single stupid status update and everything else is just popping up in the timeline, and i do NOT like it. I started deleting some of them, but after 10 minutes i realized that i've written too many updates through the years. I can't delete them all. It will take 17 years.
So i thought that the solution would maybe be to delete my profile and start fresh. I'll "lose" all my friends and stuff, and i'll probably use more time adding them back then deleting my past statuses.
What do you guys think i should do?

Isn't that your answer right there?

Eh.. well.. uh.. yeah I've decided to not delete it. I've used quite some time deleting stuff now, and i'm almost done! 4 months left in 2007, so i guess it'll take 20 minutes or so..
Kill me. Now.

And this is why Facebook sucks.
Everyone should delete their Facebook.

Yes, Facebook is bad, anything you say on there, is always going to be there, hell Facebook knows more about you than YOU know about you. Just sayin.

Yup. I want to quit the whole thing, but then i'll be an anti social guy (online) who doesn't know "what's up".
But i won't do anything about it right now. I update my status like once a month, and i'm only checking the news feed once a day.

Have you seen the videos by anonymous? Facebook is the worst. And they aren't gonna have it.

I gotta say, I quite like it. There's nothing on there that wasn't available to my friends anyway so it's just a layout change. Nothing's more or less public than it already way.
Also, Facebook is changing to this Timeline view regardless. You don't have a choice whether to use it or not.

Good thing Facebook knows I work at Hershey park as a fudge packer and is a graduate at burgerking university.

Yes, Facebook is inherently evil.
-We do what we must because we can; for the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead-

Actually I activated the time line and I like it, but anyway, I suggest that you kill your facebook account if you have nothing to lose..

I like the timeline as well. A positive change, which is weird in regards to facebook. All the statuses we're available in the old layout as well, so this just changes the look. It was just as easy to find the status updates before.

No, it's much easier and faster to find the idiotic posts now! I've used two hours browsing and deleting

I've been using the "Timeline" feature for the past 3 months. First I felt it too buggy. But now, I'm used to it (realizing there's no way to go back to old profile interface)
Also, they've messed up the chat lists.

Fairly basic maths really. 'How to unblock...' is a subset of what Google can do, therefore Google does indeed equal more than just that

Just don't bother.
That you have come to XDA to ask suggests you don't have the skills to hack the work web filter, it may be an ASA with a CSC module or similar.
Pull your socks up and get back to doing your job

To be brutally honest with you dude;-
You are at WORK. They are paying you to work, not to fu*k around with your phone. I used to have a colleague who played around with his phone at work while the rest of us actually did his job - he didn't last for long.
Keep your work at work and play with your toys in your own time, rather than trying to get one over on your employer

Don't make me call your boss.....

Did you even bother to actually read to OP and the thread, or did you just read a couple of words and decided to post this pointless answer?
If the OP's company blocks hosting sites, TOR installers etc then I don't think simply trying to use https will acheive anything - do you?

ever try underget.com? I worked for me for a few weeks, until one day I tried it, and was blocked.
I was in a similar situation. I feel if my job is done, I should be able to relax *a little*.
I know employers will never agree, and that we should be helping others who cant finish their jobs, or go clean the office, etc..
You can always upgrade your mobile data plan, and download from your phone/device. Is there a free (unblocked)wifi in the area you could utilize?
happy hacking... I can relate. I used to have a virtual machine running ubuntu, building kernels in my free time.
If you change your OP to: how to get to blocked sites so I can develop Sooper Awesome Kernel and Rom for Device XYZ, I some people would have been more inclined to help...
part of me says, yeah i should be "working", the other half says do what I feel, and I end up usually browsing the web.. and laughing my butt off to the off topic images thread... lol

Find more work to get on with, be more productive than your colleagues, get promoted, win!
Or
Get caught in breach of company IT policy, attend disciplinary meeting, get sacked, fail

That only works if the web filter is crap and the website is also running on port 443 which most don't.
OP now I'm with you, I used to work 12 hour shifts in IT at night and weekends, we used the office modem to play online games etc, and also watch DVDs.
You could talk nicely to your IT guys and see if they can make an exception for you.

Use your phone as a USB modem and download via that. If your company has blocked access to certain sites then you're risking getting sacked if you find a way to access them. Respect your company's wishes and stop trying to stumble your way around their security.

Tracking My Actions

So I'm new with android, and the Moto X. I come from a long line of Nokia dumb phones so please forgive my ignorance.
I got the moto x yesterday, and it has changed my understanding of what a phone can be. But I never thought it would go this far....
First it told me where my house was, and how long it would take me to arrive. That was odd enough. Then last night a friend called me and texted me setting up a dinner date. I said sure I would go, then I proceeded to search up the menu of said restaurant.
The next thing I know I have a tile on my home screen telling me how long it would take me to arrive at the resturant.
No interaction, no Facebook invite, no nothing.
So how in the hell does this phone know so much about me??
Cool and all, just confused.

That my friend, is the awesome power of Google Now.

Yep. Google does track your locations, but you agreed to it. It keeps a tab on your most common locations, so after time, it'll figure out where your work and where you live.

Also, if you do searches using Google on your computer Google now will catch it and ve you the same directions you just searched for on your phone. Its really quite nice. If you get an email to your gmail account with shipping info google now will keep track of your package for you too.

I just wish Google would implement the Gmail stuff for the built-in (at minimum) email client. Not everyone uses Gmail and thus they lose out on, IMO, most useful options of Google Now.

As others have said, Google builds an 'ecosystem' - if you use Chrome on your desktop and you sign in, and you sign in to Chrome on your phone and tablet, when you search on one, it will propogate not only your bookmarks but also your recent searches.
It's a little creepy at first, and I think also a reminder that someone is always watching, but it's also very convenient. It's great for me to search for a place on my PC browser, hop into my car, and have my phone tell me how far away I am and with one tap get turn-by-turn navigation.
Welcome to the world of Android and the moto X and enjoy!

It even knows when you're peeing.

Get alerts for Nexus 5 and 4.4 via Google

I posted this on G+ and thought I'd share it here.
So, there's an onslaught of people with all manner of "When will 4.4 or Nexus 5 be released?"
Let me help you out by teaching you a bit about Google Alerts.
Google Alerts is a sadly underused service. You can go to http://www.google.com/alerts first and type in Nexus 5 confirmed in the search box.
If you use RSS readers like feedly, you can change delivery to feed. To import it into feedly, after you finish creating the alert, right click the RSS icon next to the alert and copy link address. You then go into feedly and click on Add New Content and just paste the address into the box.
If you don't use RSS, leave it set to your email address.
Make sure that as-it-happens is selected.
Click on Create Alert.
Now, anytime Google gets a new search result that matches your search term, you'll either get an email or a new result in your RSS feeds. This will save you from hours upon hours of scouring the web for results on when it will be released. Feel free to make the search term whatever you like but I'm fairly confident once we have the exact release date, there'll be plenty of Nexus 5 confirmed results but you can also create multiple alerts for multiple search strings to cover your bases, just don't get mad at me if you get inundated with email.

I've used Google Alerts before and it's a fantastic service. Thanks for reminding me to use it here. I didn't put two and two together but great idea.

Finally a thread of use in the nexus 5 forums!

Nice idea. Personally, I use G+ quite a bit so I'll know that it was released when it explodes with nerd joy followed quickly by nerd rage after Google Play screws something up. :silly:
I'll say this for them, though: I keep coming back for more because every order/pre-order is an adventure.

The problem is that by the time you get an alert, all the stock has been sold out.

The Nexus 4 was released in the store something like thirty minutes to an hour before the official announced time; I remember that my obsessive checking got me in before the rush (and then of course my order fell into limbo and I got my phone in the second wave of deliveries).
I say if you care enough to want to get it now, keep checking the obvious places when you get a chance.

It alerts you when there is news coverage, not when the phone is available for purchase. All the fanatics will be F5'ing it up and there's a high chance that by the time a news site picks up on it, all the stock will be dried up.

Woh that's a huge security bug. I, like test it late at my N5 MRA58K. If this is tru then every one should disable the smartlook Funktion. Thx for the info.

Well, I'd probably say that OP should just open a ticket on Google's support page and everyone can star it.
Just make sure you star the issue only, DO NOT COMMENT!
If you comment an issue, everyone who starred it will get a notification. So if people start spam replying with "Me too, I'm also having this issue, Google please fix" etc. then your email gets blown up and that usually makes most people unstar it which means Google doesn't really look into it soon because it doesn't seem to be widespread enough. No need to say "I am also having this issue" as that is literally what the star means.
STAR ONLY!!!

Have you tried this by leaving your trusted place? Just going into the basement won't cut it if it's the same house, besides that, if you get a proper location lock on your location and disconnect from all networks, say you're using an app like Google maps, your icon will still move, and turn and stuff according to you, I use this with an old phone that has no service when I'm on my bicycle, I'll have to test this out my self
