That's how I assumed it was made until I saw the behind-the-scenes video, i.e. a production company makes a generic video that takes several months to complete. They then pitch it to a music label for some up-and-coming artist who is added

I don't think he's talking about hard work. He is talking about people who are driven by short term thinking. People who don't really care about their work.

Yep. Ubuntu's obviously aiming their main product at the mainstream these days, and developers aren't in that mainstream. That said, Unity might deter the most enthusiastic newbies, the sort that go on to inhabit support forums and help oth

That's what I was thinking. Neighbours talk less often to each other these days, and instead, they rely on the police to fix these sorts of issues. It's just a side effect of an increasingly individualistic society.

It was far too verbose and meandering. I like long articles provided there's plenty "meat" to justify the whole. This one reads like it was padded with descriptions of how well the container was passed from port-to-port and so on. It also s

As far as I can tell, it's like choosing between paying for display advertising or affiliate marketing. Two different mindsets and neither are a bad thing. You either do the recruitment in-house and absorb all the risk to your business, whi

Indeed, it just looks like an automated welcome message. In the early days of the internet, I may have fallen for something like that... only to realise my reply went to a ticket support system or a fake 'from' address. Nowadays, I'm cynica

Yep. I never click on website profiles when I know that the person can see the visits. The good thing about LinkedIn is you can turn that off, but even then, I notice it adds the person to the suggested users list after a month or so (I won
