Office (dead-)pool Y! is clearly purging before being acquired. Cutting R&D says they want to get bought by old media. Who? When? How much? |
RT @diveintomark: Some industries, when confronted with going digital, think "I know, I'll use DRM!" Now they have 2 problems. (hat tip jwz) |
RT @om: if you are laid off by yahoo and want to talk get in touch with me. |
New Ilinois politics motto: "We're Louisiana, but with more snow..." |
RT @dangillmor: most amazing element of illinois pol scandal: notion that silencing an editorial page writer would mean anything... |
Does anyone know how to get gmail to delete mails with "VocusPR" *in the link text*? World's biggest PR spammers, but I can't filter them! |
Oy. New and *imporved* BoingBoing link: http://is.gd/aLdp Iam too tired to even shorten a URL correctly... |
Oops. Better BoingBoing link on of me calling bullshit on the Rosenbaum thesis of hapless newspaper people: http://is.gd/aU3X |
Ron Rosenbaum defends newspaper ppl:"We misunderstood what was happening, but at least we didn't learn anything." Me on RR http://is.gd/aU05 |
@ninavizz Who cares if we invalidate decades of customs?Why should the taxpayer subsidize dumb beliefs, by the UAWor anyone else? |
@ninavizz But an expectation of a job for life is dumb. "The world doesn't owe you a living" isn't just for artists, |
@pnh We obviously disagree, but I'm not sure why we'd bail out GM but not CircuitCity or Yahoo-UAW members more deserving than stock clerks? |
@KathySierra About asking people why they do things (they don't know), cog scientsts often say "Don't ask the person, ask the brain." |
@pnh If we didn't have more mfg capacity than needed, Big 3 wouldn't be in trouble, nu? Same as pets.com-there's nothing special about mfg. |
@NurtureGirl Part of a larger conversation - we were tweeting about organization generally, and I remembered Freeman paper in that context. |
@pnh ~1M jobs figure is whole effect, not just UAW. If we have more mfg capacity than we need, why "save" it? We didn't save dot coms. |
@NurtureGirl But unmitigated structureless as an end point is ineffective, even on a spectrum. |
@NurtureGirl Freeman's essay (http://is.gd/ar3C) is <abt gender org issues than *org* issues -- question of social structure generally |
