What do they expect people to learn from Google? Any company with their heads on straight won't be giving away trade secrets, and even tips and tricks on how to develop software are either already known or it's something that Google has an edge on and doesn't want to lose. It's not like Google has any "secret knowledge" or anything like that. They just made a great business plan and it payed off.
My college roommate's grandmother was the first one to introduce him to gaming. She bought the very first Nintendo system when it came out and shared it with the then young roommate of mine. So, this comes as no surprise to me.:P
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't qualify my statement with "All other things being normal and the poster being completely innocent of anything..." (/sarcasm)
I meant, that with what the poster has provided, there is no legal basis for him getting sued. This thread isn't about what the poster *might* have done. You can only give answers based on the information provided.
Texas is what is called an "at will" state. It means that you can leave your employer at any time with no reason at all. Period. You do not need to give two weeks notice. You do not need to submit anything in writing. The law guarantees this - it's written into the Texas constitution, an amendment that was passed.
They have no legal basis to sue you on. However, all that being said, we do live in a world where people sue McDonald's because they spilled hot coffee on themselves and burnt themselves, even though it clearly says Hot Coffee.
"An actual Computer Science degree is worth so much more than just certifications and experience. This field is always changing, and a Computer Science degree means that you have been trained to adapt to it, while people with certifications can be swept out with last year's software if things in the industry change beyond their certifications."
Having a Computer Science degree is like being certified in anything computer science related, for life. If it changes, ok, I can read up on it and be good to go. Meanwhile, someone without a degree has to read up on it, study it hard, and then take a test to get a piece of paper saying that they can do that, which will be out of date in a year.
There is no way to move existing companies off of Microsoft Office (which is what they want). The main reason is that many people are scared to move to a new product, while others don't want to have to learn something new (Even if it's minimal). Comfort zone is everything.
The answer your question, it's very simple really. There are several conservative organizations out there (Focus on the Family is the biggest one that comes to mind) that eyes every piece of legislation that comes through congress. It then sends out an e-mail to it's huge base of subscribers (millions of people) and tells them how it will effect conservatives, and then gives them the numbers to call their senators and representatives about the issue. Democrats (who are usually associated these days with being liberal) are very tired of the flood of calls from the millions of subscribers to these conservative groups telling them to vote contrary to their liberal agenda (just as most Republicans have a conservative agenda, but there are exceptions on both sides).
This article is useless rhetoric about the "console wars". At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who has the best graphics or the best kind of control system. What matters is what you like to play, and which console will give you that. The people who want to play the games that only the PS3 offers will buy the PS3, regardless of what Nintendo and Microsoft do, and vice-versa. There will never be a winner to the "console wars", and thus ample opportunity for people to rehash the good and the bad of all of the systems to try and make it sound like a new angle, when they're really just kicking a dead horse.

So, yes, it's worth it. It's definitely worth it.

This phone looks to change absolutely everything regarding cell phones. I bet Steve Balmer is throwing chairs right now in Redmond!
