MacOS – Console.log filled with “stopping Handoff advertising”

consolecontinuitymacos

My console.log is filled with "stopping Handoff advertising" messages, I counted 29 in the last 3 minutes. I also get the occasional:

10/24/14 01:21:35.089 lsuseractivityd[245]: -[LSUserActivityClientProcess doUpdateUserActivityInfo:makeCurrent:completionHandler:], refusing to register user activity from client, and returning error Error Domain=LSContinuityErrorDomain Code=-108 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (LSContinuityErrorDomain error -108.)" for item <__NSConcreteUUID 0x7ffe10c1f0a0> [redacted]-[redacted]-[redacted]-[redacted]-[redacted] NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb (LSUserActivityClientProcess.m #1148)

Is this normal or expected behavior?

Update, from my comment below:

Thanks for the help. Looking at it, my console is full of all sorts of error logs. I've Googled each and every one of them, and most resulted in the same threads about Yosemite. At this point, I prefer to wait for 10.10.1 to see what's fixed as my machine is running mostly fine.

Just to make sure do clear your browser's cookies and history.

But with your limited Console log it could be this.

Yosemite is designed to handoff integrated app statuses to other Apple devices, the "advertising" may simply refer to the fact that my Yosemite Mac is advertising that there is stuff to handoff to an iOS 8 device, but that functionality is not yet implemented
