17:44: Mikal shared: Can being laid off really make you better off? - BusinessWeek.com- msnbc.com
Interesting article from Business Week. A recent study found that those laid off by Boeing were better off psychologically than those who remained with the company. This was mainly because of a combination of survivor guilt and continued stress about being in an insecure position.

06:36: Mikal shared: "I Will Break Your Fucking Camera"
I wonder who the tenant at 555 California is? Who wants to be guarded by badly trained thugs?

00:45: Mikal shared: YouTube - Oshiri Kajiri Mushi
Bottom biting bug! This is the song we played the most in Taiko at the arcade.
00:48: Mikal shared: YouTube - crazy frog
Oshiri Kajiri Mushi reminds me of Crazy Frog.
05:10: Mikal shared: Naked airport scanners in child porn uproar
Heck, the whole technology is creepy.
05:54: Mikal shared: One Buck = 80 Bucks
You know what they say... the happiest two days in the life of a mounted deer-head owner are the day he obtains the buck-head and the day he sells it. Let's make each other happy.

02:50: Mikal shared: Mono is a trap evidence
These slides are interesting. I worked for a Microsoft ISV back in the day, and the would consistently pressure us to do things that clearly weren't in our best interests (and that they weren't doing to their products either). An example is porting our millions of lines of code to .NET, at the same time that they weren't doing that to their own code.
I wonder how Microsoft can get away with using language like this in a world in which they are under antitrust scrutiny? I would have though words like "war" and "kill" would be antitrust triggers.
02:54: Mikal shared: Core Values: The silicon behind Android
An interesting summary of the current state of play with Android SoC chips. I dispute the statement that Android's feel sluggish, but that's clearly subjective. Otherwise a good article.

Name a desert beginning with F that you'd like to see in giant form...
05:17: Mikal shared: The Geography of Jobs - TIP Strategies
Interesting employment growth visualization for the last five years in the US. Can you spot Hurricane Katrina?

06:52: Mikal shared: Just 30 firms dominate the internet - The Inquirer
Interesting article about the state of the web. Let's not confuse the web with the entire internet please though.
07:35: Mikal shared: The error of our ways - Local News - News - Opinion - The Canberra Times
Interesting article about how being seen to fail is so damaging to reputation that people aren't willing to take risks any more. I wonder if things like social networking will change this over time -- everyone will have so much dirty laundry that voters will end up finally realizing that politicians are imperfect, just like them.

00:51: Mikal shared: Air New Zealand blasts IBM over system crash
Its seems like IBM dropped the ball here pretty badly. However, it remains to be seen if Air NZ specified levels of reliability in their outsourcing contracts.

04:33: Mikal shared: Greens call for end to car salary loophole - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
I was talking about the status of FBT for leased cars with a friend just the other day. Personally, having seen people go for hundreds of kilometer drives at lunch time just to get into the next mileage bracket for tax, I think its time for salary sacrificing of car leases to end. I also like the idea of salary sacrifice for public transportation, which is something they've had in the US for ages.
