  1. Re:Meanwhile... on Nearly 50,000 IT Jobs Lost In Past Year · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here's how companies are "trimming the shrubbery" now that the IT gardeners are gone. My wife works at a large national DIY store as a receiving clerk. They pulled ALL IT support out of the stores and Distribution Centers and put the IT duties on the people like my wife. If they can't figure out the problem, they can call a national helpdesk who will walk them through the fix (this will not work with my wife). If there is a hardware problem I think they have to wait for a shipment from the corporate hq.

    Vitamin A & D, found in milk, comes in a bottle and is added after milk has been separated, pastuerized and homogenized. Funny I never thought my high school job at the dairy would provide material for discussion.

    It was only a matter of time after Yahoo and Gmail were cracked. What make this newsworthy now? I think the real story woudl be why didn't MSN Hotmail develop a better defense in the time since the first system was cracked?

    Let's just use Viagra to keep it up longer.

  5. When does innovation payoff? on Chinese Pirates Copy iPhone, Make Improvements · · Score: 1

    The article states, "...there's virtually no high-tech Western product that China's cloners can't copy. Pretty soon, you might even prefer their work". The improvements are noteworthy but just that, improvements.
