  1. Blockbuster plant on Netflix Throttling Instant Video Streaming · · Score: 1

    My guess is that this is a plant from Blockbuster to combat people leaving because of their Total Access policy change about swapping movies at the store. I read that story and immediately went to Netflicks to look at their packages... and I'm switching! So, nice try Blockbuster...

  2. Google Earth/Maps on Thousands of Rubber Ducks to Finally End Journey · · Score: 3, Funny

    You'd think you could spot tens of thousands of brightly colored rubber ducks on Google Earth/Maps, ya think? Anyone have links?

  3. sources on Coding Communities - What Works? · · Score: 4, Informative

    For my Java needs, I go to the Java Technology Forums http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa For any MS or SQL needs, I go to Tek-Tips http://www.tek-tips.com/ Both are free, and if you ask questions intelligibly, you'll get answers very quickly.

  4. Less cost to service large corporate orders on Computer Makers Cater to Big Business, IT Depts. · · Score: 1

    My wife runs a gift basket business. We only do corporate orders... why? Because I can fulfill a 200 basket order in several days, whereas if I had to fulfill 200 individual orders, it would cost me too much in time, supplies, shipping, etc. I would cater to corporations too, if I ran a computer manufacturer business. I guess it depends on your supply chain and distribution channels... but I can see their logic in favoring IT departments.

  5. Re:Wait a minute... on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 1

    The way I understood non-compete clauses is that there is usually a geoography issue. For instance, I work for a company based in Charlotte, NC... therefore, I would have to look for work outside of that area in the same sector, otherwise, I could still work in Charlotte if I worked in a different employement sector. Global companies... that may be a different story, I don't know for sure.
