Big Blue cuts 1,000 jobs. Palm cuts 250.
Well, here we go again. IBM just recently cut 1,000 chipmaker jobs. Palm cut 250 jobs. It seems like we never hear about the massive hirings and we continue to hear about layoff after layoff. If you ever catch me around town, buy me a beer and I will tell you about my theory of the end of the Silicon Age. I don't think things are going to get better, I think we are at the end of the revolution. Brush up on your security and wireless skills. These will be the last of the jobs in the silicon age.
Microsoft XP being put into ATMs and Slot Machines?
I was reading on CNET news.com that XP has already been put into some NCR Cash Machines but now it is also being put into Bally's next generation Slot Machines. We all have seen the blue screens from NT but now I am wondering what will happen to the Slot Machines. Whats the worst that can happen? Microsoft sucking more money from us?
Don't be an idiot. Please!
Known as as BadTrans.B, the worm installs hacking software on infected computers. I have to stress, this only happens when you open the attachment. Don't. Don't open attachments from people you don't know. It's like opening a letter containing anthrax. You might want to also start using a different mail client like
Eudora or just start using linux which doesn't open virii by default. Bill Gates won't do anything about it, you have to.
So I guess you have been missing the videos
Well, I have been encoding our videos again with even more footage. I will even have Video CDs on sale on our site. You might be questioning the sale of the Video CDs. The reasoning behind this is, the streaming of video is becoming less and less reliable for quality video. If you were not aware, Video CDs or VCDs, can be played on any computer or on 99% off all DVD players. We will even put up clips of our documentary that we did for Channel 4 UK. Keep an eye out for our new videos.
Happy Thanksgiving
Sorry about the site not being updated but I was in Vegas for the Thanksgiving weekend holiday. Vegas on the holidays just makes you sick of the people but I just get even crazier by the minute. I was making
Lunaslide laugh with my "Fig Nuts" shouts and wierd other things. I will post something more relevant tomorrow.
