Excellent point and angle I hadn't even thought of. You can never know what type of prejudice someone holds, especially an employer, until it's too late.
As for battery life, no gamer is ever going to try to economize and use the minimum amount of power, so I didn't either while testing it. Playing Dishonored at 1080p, high settings, with near-full brightness and volume most of the way up lasted only one hour and nine minutes. It's a good thing that the power adapter…
I'm teetering between the 11 and 13. It seems to me the extra $100 for the base 13 is worth the extra $100 for a much better battery life than the 11. Your thoughts? However, I may wait for the Retina display which I'm sure will come out next year.
The thing is, apple has THE most power to change the situation, and also the strictest and harshest demands for its suppliers, which is a double-whammy in making the problem worse. The other companies don't have as high or harsh production goals, the products are made in facilities with better standards, and the…
Apple has supplier contracts concerning behavior toward workers and minimum standards. http://www.apple.com/supplierrespon…
You have one photo on FB that would make me feel a little less comfortable hiring you if I had a lot of qualified candidates to choose from. Now, if I was shallow, I may just pass you by without ever interviewing you, just because of that one photo. Would I be a dick for doing that? Yeah, pretty much I would be. …
What is considered mainstream is fluid. What might be considered mainstream might not be mainstream tomorrow. I have no way of predicting that. No one does. For instance, in 1992 it wasn't mainstream to support gay rights. In fact, one would easily be considered not only NOT MAINSTREAM, but a bit of a weirdo for…
One only begins to care when they have something to lose.
I don't share. At my age it isn't a necessity to share like that. I suspect it really isn't a necessity for younger folks either, more of a want.
Here is a test. Post your FB account in these comments. If you don't, then you need to ask yourself why you would feel uncomfortable doing that. If you do feel uncomfortable doing that then you shouldn't be on Facebook, unless you are under a phony profile like I am.
My advise to you is to remain mysterious. An HR person or a potential girlfriend will find that far more attractive than having a FB profile that may lead them to think you are narcissistic. I can tell you my generation generally feels that those with a FB account are narcissitic and not someone we may hire. Right…
Your recommendation would work, if I had no thoughts outside the mainstream and if I was basically a boring person and never did anything construed as controversial. In other words, if I wanted to be careful about everything I posted online, I could take your recommendation. However, at times, I like to speak my…
If you don't have something to hide from someone (i.e. employer, family, spouse, child etc.), you haven't lived a full life. A great life is lived on the edges and is often full of things that one might not want someone that is judgmental, but in a power position over you, to know. If you live a rather boring and…
You never know what prejudices future employers, customers, girl friends, family etc will feel about your thoughts taken off the web and often out of context. It's best if you can be who you are outside of an online persona. If I'm looking to hire someone, I'm 46, I will look to see if they have a social presence. …
It's a consumer Dell product. You're right to trust your gut. Dell is the RealPlayer/Real Networks of consumer electronics, just a couple of steps above Coby.
Great article. I'm glad that I never once used these services as I was old enough when they came out to see the danger. I'm sure if I were a teen in 2005, I would have used them full steam ahead. I do have a facebook account, but its completely phony. I established it when so many sites and services, like Spotify,…
I've been waiting for NEST but unfortunately, it's still not available. I put in a pre-order about 2 weeks ago with Amazon and got a message that it wouldn't ship until December. I registered for a Nest with the OEM to be notified that it was ready to ship and still have not received notification.
You've got to admire Google for their publicity stunts.
