Mavericks and slow Finder

Last weekend I upgraded my MBP to Mavericks. I have been waiting with the upgrade because I didn’t want to have problem with my computer so I figured I’ll wait for some bugfixes before upgrading. So last weekend I decided to take the jump and upgrade. The first thing I discovered was that HyperSwitch was not working as it should and I still have not found a solution to the problem.

“Eclipse” is damaged and can’t be opened

No sound in OS X when playing YouTube videos in Chrome

It have happened a couple of times that I suddenly don’t have any sound from my speakers when watching YouTube videos in Chrome. I don’t know how and when this happens but it is easy to fix. Just open a terminal and run “sudo killall coreaudiod”. I probably should investigate why this happens but I will do that on a rainy day. That’s it.
