WordPress Articles

I picked up the chatter last nite, but could not blog it. Brad has some thoughts on this ;

The point is, what Matt was doing was un-ethical. As a web developer–he knew what he was doing was questionable

Shelley gives us some other thoughts

"because what matters is the code, not the purity of actions peripherial to the code, or its release."

David says it best "The mistake definitely wasn't making money. It was making money in a way that works against the interests of the Web community".

There is some good commentary on the issue too.

I think that blopsphere should disect the issue, but do not murder Matt, please !!

Google- Adsense

Scott Rafer of Feedster fame, has some beef with Google and Adsense.

Corporate Culture-JetBlue

Personal lessons do not have to stay within our private borders. In fact, they are a fountain out of which flows our public creativity.

Neeleman sums up how all of these practices impact JetBlue's corporate culture better than I could ever do: "When employees know they're coming to a great job where they get full benefits - and that if something terrible happens to them the other employees will help them out - they do their best work, and they serve their customers well."

Siemens researchers have developed a cell phone featuring a built-in projector system. A laboratory model was presented at CeBIT 2005 in Hanover. The system makes it possible to project a complete keypad or display onto a surface. With a special pen, users can write on the virtual keypad and operate the phone’s functions.
Let me know when it comes out from deep beta. I'll Like one too. With bluetooth and all..
What a way to work eh ??

Technet gets a blog

So, the proverbial cat is out of the bag - Microsoft has opened up blogs.technet.com, giving Microsoftie bloggers with more of an IT Pro focus than a Developer focus a place to call their own.

Freedom Pact

A story in over 115 chapters. An Excellent "Discovery Process" !!

Yah "Defendant's motion is granted in part and denied in part."

"So Taubman is wasting not only their own time and money, they're wasting the resources of the United States Judicial System – and, by extension, they're wasting the resources of every United States taxpayer as well."

I actually read the first part upto 85C. That took me a couple of hours of reading.  I took a break and went back at it again. The final WestLaw document is produced  But, then I jumped to "money money money". 

"there is no question that Defendants are the prevailing party in this matter" and awarded us the entire $845.78 for which we had originally asked! - 01 MAY 2003

Dan clued me in .

Note: This whole process took me approx 6.5 hrs of reading !!!

Hank Mishkoff Kudos to you !! ... heheheh read the fine print :)-
