It's great advice but may as well have been written in hieroglyphics, personally I've never seen it taken (three rounds across two companies + missed payroll during bankruptcy once). I posit that the reason for this, in tech anyway, is that

Who thinks or argues that it's "right"? As an American, I think we've been on a hell of a ride for the last couple hundred years, and I'm quite thankful for that. I personally feel do not feel owed anything. I just hope if we're on our way

Exchange email is acceptable but not outstanding. The reason that most companies end up with Exchange is the good calendaring support. Try your free or less expensive options first and see what your employees think. At our company (back whe

Every time MS nods at Yahoo the stock rises X%, and when the deal is obviously not going to happen it drops > X%. This is a really interesting way of battering your competition.

There are a lot of bad things on the Internet: spam, child porn, malware, phishing and so on. You know, I'm actually quite fine with the government not getting involved with my spam, malware, and phishing problems. I don't really want to

One of the steps I will be taking is raising the performance bar at Tesla to a very high level, which will result in a modest reduction in near term headcount. To be clear, this doesn’t mean that the people that depart Tesla for this reaso

I think there's some kind of implicit sentiment that the happiness from doing something you enjoy and getting paid are additive when you do something you enjoy. I'm not sure that's true. I love computers, UNIX/Linux, scalable architectures,

A bit long, and a bit too much of an ad for his company (soocial). That said, he said some thought provoking things about the term "the cloud" that changed my opinion on it somewhat. Prior to watching the video I sided with Larry Ellison of

Does anyone here have any experience using Flock? I started reading the comments after the article, and was disappointed to see how close TC's comments are to youtube's. Absent any other data points, it sounds like it would go great with:

I was bantering back and forth with a couple friends recently about what our dream datacenter/colo space would look like. We estimated with devices with good airflow you could stay within the operating temperature range of most computer com

The overall WiMAX picture is about providing a foundation for next generation devices to innovate. That's not BS and I'm not a CEO, so forgive that it sounds kind of mission-statementy and let's dig in: Devices are getting bigger and faster

not much, today anyway... it's like having a Sprint PCS phone in Baltimore 15 years ago. The value prop won't go up until it's in more places and there is more coverage. The device situation is also not great at the moment. The future looks

As an employee in a large, well funded RVC venture, I would say I feel considerably more secure about my position than I would be if I was in a MVC or possibly even in the financial sector. Our pockets are certainly no deeper than our (esta

I don't know when their fiscal year ends, but having a drop right before review time means that when annual grant time comes around you're getting them at a lower price. Of course if the market is only going to go down-down-down then this i

Sort of... Honestly I don't have a particularly charitable opinion of the iPhone: you can't touch type on it, which makes it effectively consume-only for email, and it's also consume-only for video (and recorded audio for that matter). The

I think that the benefit from "hosing money into the banking system" is front end loaded. That is to say: we've been living above our means for a while now and we've done the (inter-)national equivalent of kiting checks for the last 5 years

I too am keenly interested in seeing how Apple works the premium product angle in response to the netbook segment. It's pretty obvious that they're going to have to do something, but exactly what doesn't seem obvious.

Given that 43 and 50 are relatively prime this could mean a much lower effective resolution after processing the images if they're taken at full resolution and digitally manipulated. That would kind of suck. I have no idea how the optics sy

It's short form for "IBM PC Compatible", something that was printed on a lot of floppy disks back in the early 1980s. It was used to differentiate between "Atari" (which was a computer), "Apple" (which wasn't a Macintosh), "C64", and "Tandy

Always be looking, especially if you're not happy! 1) Perhaps something out there is better and you'd leave the mediocrity you're in now. 2) Perhaps nothing else is better or other stuff is worse in some way, and this might help put your cu

I agree with this. I am generally not a direct or assertive person, but when it comes to issues of customer service I strongly dislike the asynchronous aspect of most computer based communication. Online chat wouldn't qualify as asynchronou

I think the CC providers charge merchants for these. Do you know that to be incorrect? If I'm correct this means that it now costs email providers cents per account per month , which just took an expensive turn for the worse. If it doesn't
