A world with a Craig's List is better than a world without one. But it does seem like we could use at least a couple more similar sites.

Beyond the obvious overwhelming qualifications, I have to ask: they expect to interview lots of people with five years of startup experience in downtown Chicago? Really?

Since this was covered by Fox News, we must assume that these were creation scientists transporting matter using the power of prayer.

How could this have happened? Ballmer was just so confident. I mean, it was like yesterday when he was bragging to the entire assembled Redmond staff how they would "continue to allow others to innovate." Looks like that's worked out really

Actually I've had that situation several times in technology jobs. It's not so much the job itself as it is the company. I had a great gig at a company in Marin County (read: north of the Golden Gate, laid-back, hippies) where I was able

So sick of crap like this. I'm Gen-X and very much remember being called whiny and entitled. We were neither -- no more than any 20-somethings have ever been.

FWIW, the NYT is now reporting that inside sources are confirming that Jobs' problem has to do with nutrient absorption, not cancer.

Actually, the health of a CEO is very much the business of the stockholders of his company.

Horrible news. Worse, the SEC is likely to come after him if it turns out (as we all probably think it will) that he's facing another round of cancer treatment. Now he's facing legal action as well, by publicly denying he has cancer.

I don't know whether to agree with him (it's not a depression until there are a whole lot of bread lines) or slap the smugness right off his face (he'll feel a whole lot different when he can't afford food).

How sad -- I used to read it in the '70s. Seriously. Later I worked with a guy whose dad is the 'ob' in Dr. Dobbs. Really. The name is a composite of a couple of names. Maybe the biggest tragedy is that the magazine had devolved to the poin

No, I don't think he would lie to this extent. That's my point. Either he's done something only a crazy person would do, or we can believe him. My point is that by coming out with specifics, he's made it easy to believe -- not just because

OK, so he has now upped the ante. Either he's being completely truthful -- and AAPL stockholders have less to worry about -- or he's lying outright. If he's lying, people will go to jail. If Steve dies, the SEC will find others complicit in

Please, don't try to tell me that KR didn't take it to new heights (and new levels of cynicism).

Bad karma is bad karma. I care about people in the industry being dickheads because it decreases the quality of life.

Suck? Maybe they suck, but working as a programmer is better than not working. Believe me, I'm being laid off at a mortage company (that was once a thriving internet startup -- don't ask), and watching these loan people deal with the fact t

Amazon PR learned a lot from the Bush administration (K.R.) about how to fool them. State things as though they're established facts. Typical lazy editors won't insist that the facts are checked.

Whether DHH is a jackass is a matter of opinion in itself, of course. But he certainly seems to go out of his way to piss people off. Usually that's a sign of unresolved childhood issues. (Not to go all pop-psych on you guys, but it's kind

That's not cynicism. It's just pessimism.

So the money is from advertising? May be needless to say but it isn't clear.

I agree with Hoff that creating value is better than blaming. OTOH an occasional rant might make us all feel a little better while we're creating all that value. :-)

Go Daddy has been doing this for years. They don't care about the authentication portion of SSL -- just the encryption part.

He's right that we need to reboot -- but the irony is that it's his generation (and his mentality itself) that is forcing this. The I-got-mine, greed-is-always-good, me-first, I'm-entitled generation of baby boomers (circa 1940-1958) is dir

Because what they're testing (memorized "knowledge") isn't relevant in the real world (where praxis rules).

I'm not sure if advertising is stable or not, but there's been a lot of talk about how it's going to collapse (and how Google is going to be worth $2/share, doom-and-gloom). I think that's the reason for this guy's question.

Put simply, simple sugars can screw with mood. Better to avoid them in general. This doesn't mean you shouldn't eat that brownie. It means you shouldn't eat them often or eat a lot of them.

I rarely if ever agree with the WSJ, but here's an example of where I think they've mostly got everything right. Ayn Rand was naive but did have a point: innovation happens when you leave the innovators the hell alone and let them invent. W
