Poking around at Economist.com and I found some interesting charts, like this one that shows how many weeks of pay a company has to give an employee for letting them go. Talk about crazy…in Zimbabwe a company has to give out over EIGHT YEARS worth of compensation to an employee. Why would you even remotely care […]

Dave has a plan for the bailout. It’s almost an 8 minute audio clip, but very interesting.

Just read the comic introducing Google Chrome, Google’s new web browser. It definitely looks very interesting, from both a user’s and developer’s perspective. Chrome is designed from the ground up to work with online web apps faster and more safely. There’s supposed to be a public beta later today, so I’m looking forward to trying […]
