I'm telling you, I can't make this stuff up!
Seriously, according to this article on AustralianIT, CIOs in Australia are less than happy with the results of outsourcing. And, though it's no surprise to me, CIOs in the US are even less happy! According to the article, roughtly one-third of the Australian CIOs were unhappy, but fully 50% of the US CIOs were unhappy with their decision to outsource! (I hope my former employers are reading this!)
Isn't this idea dead yet?
Apparently not. At least, not if this article on Slashdot is any indication. But, c'mon, how long have "tip jars" and the "Donate Now" buttons been around? It seems like forever to me. And, does anyone ever do it? No. At least, I've never heard of anyone actually doing it. I know that I have never done it. And, what's more, no one has done it for any of my websites, either. (Of course, I didn't expect them to, but still...)
Yet, the hopefulls on Slashdot seem to think this could work. Well, dream big, I say. Dream big.
No, I'm not talking about a biased film documentary...
I'm talking about a different kind of hoax alltogether! Have you ever gotten that stupid spam about the e-mail tracking program that's sponsored by Micro$oft, or Intel? Ever wondered where that got started? Well, Wired has an article on it! Yep, it's the whole story from the very earliest days to the present. It's a story of Darwinian proportions! And, it really has taken on a life of it's own.
Quick! Get it while it's hot!
A quicker way to read updates...
Kind of goofy, but fun.
Tomorrow, it's back to the salt mines.
Okay, this seems a little strange even for me...
I'm sorry I missed a "fun" link yesterday.
Could it be true?
