LinkedIn

Best thing for jobs is LinkedIn. You always get jobs thrown at you, the trick is getting them to stop...

This guy must be nuts. I never had to travel before so no cost saving. I have however see a massive rise in my electricty bill!

Money Due

I wonder if this covers people who previously worked for Apple. Can't imagine they'll have issues with claiming back the money.

Haha at what point are the police going to be forced to be educated, because the criminals have all been overly educated in prison

Exploit?

Does it count as an exploit when it was designed to it and is in the manual?

The're only failing because the public sector sucks at making any successful computer systems. Police facial detection system: fail, NHS Sytem 1: fail, NHS System 2: fail, NHS {insert number}: fail.

Laptops

I wonder if there will be an out right ban on laptops as well... the potential data loss on them is much higher, they aren't lost / robbed as often as usb pens but there are a number of unclaimed laptops dotted across the planet

"At the same time, we unapologetically try to find a diverse pool of qualified candidates for open roles, as this helps us hire the best people, improve our culture, and build better products."

So they did do what Arne Wilberg said they did.

What's with the title

Why put Facebook in the title if it has nothing to do with them? yes they used the building for a year or two, but still. Did you think less people would read the article if it has "Is this why HP is just a toxic place to work?".

I don't mind a jokes or someone taking the p**s when it relates to the article, but when your just dumping another company in the article name your, just asking for people who have half the read the article jumping to conclusions.

Teaching IT doesn't have enough money

The amount of education you need to teach and for IT is quite high to be qualified on a university level, now why would you pay all that money and then settle for a job which caps at about 25 - 30k a year?

Anyone who is good will go into IT not into teaching GCSE level IT.

The chocolate mouse

A colleague of mine who liked chocolate often needed help. I would often go to her computer and find chocolate beside the mouse button and inside of the ridges of the wheel. The first few times I'd wait until she'd go and make a brew before using disinfecting wipes to clean the thing (I'm sure who PC would break just so I'd do this), about the 6th time that it happened I made a point to walk in to room which she worked hold the disinfecting wipes and clean it while she watched... needless to say she cleaned her mouse from that point on. Haha weirdly the person in question also had talons.

Fine

Personally I've found the update to be fine, well actually haven't noticed anything different since the update for the normal day to day usage.

Easy to avoid

"if Google was able to pull up the data on its own machines in the US, then it should fall under a US court's jurisdiction"... so if google never pull the data from a computer in the US for the US government, then the data never falls under the US jurisdiction, chicken or the egg?

Decent People

How about instead of trying to pay naff money for naff tech people, they pay decent money for decent tech people... that way they don't have to keep binning billion pound projects, because they've not even come close to accomplishing the task at hand...

A database which is accessible and easy, ... pay experts e.g. facebook, pay experts on what makes things easier e.g. the doctors they already have and not "experts" which haven't worked a day in a hospital e.g. health care ministers.

I like them

I got a smart meter 2 years ago and it was very informative. You can look at your usage in every half an hour for the past 24hours. Noticed a bunch of tech was randomly turning on a certain times... I'd say the actual ability to view usage as accurately as it does is more than enough of a benefit.

Rebook

The style looks like the Rebook style.

Already have this fix

A better fix which people will have been using for ages will be a flash blocker, it also helps massively reduce the memory overhead for chrome (Which I imagine might still be a problem as the comment says they'll pause the flash, so it'll loading).

Being a C**t

I rarely raise my voice on the phone, but I've found that the best approach to cancelling a "service" is to be a proper kn**head on the phone. I was with talk talk for 2 - 10mbp/s and I on average got 1.8mbp/s and had trouble disconnecting. Just switch to EE for the same service and my average speed is 8mbp/s ....not really relative I know, but still I would of finished with more than a few companies sooner if I'd just gone straight to being a be*lend.

This guy did himself no service by no commenting. He should of just said he isn't getting the service.

Not shocking

It doesn't shock me how poorly the Wii U is doing.

- Firstly the Wii sold so well because its controls were uniquely interactive and amused people, now most people have tried that and don't care for the amount of energy required (The fads gone).

- The hardware is completely out of date compared to its rivals.

- I haven't seen a single games which has made me go, "oO! I really wanna play that, best get a Wii U"

- Why would anyone want to buy one of the tablets; they look revolting and there bulky. Also why should people buy more tablets as controllers, since they properly have some lying around anyway.

The control system was supposed to make you not care about the lack of technical specs, but they have it working against its self. Wii remotes require you to move and swing, while the tablets mean that you plonk your ass down anywhere (even where there's no TV)

They should properly cut there losses and drop home gaming devices (Just encase I don't mean handhelds). The amount of money they could make from games by selling Mario, Zelda, Metroid to the other consoles.

Minecraft

I have the full minecraft working on Ubuntu, in fact it runs smoother on older laptop in linux than it does in windows.

Idiot

As I saw someone in the first few posts state that he'd learned to programming using turtle tiles in the 80s. I was in primary school in the 90s and I remember them giving us a robot that you could program (I believe it was based around the 80s turtle game) and see it wizz off everywhere.

Given the state of technology, smart phones, smart TVs, smart Watches, computers... well you get what I'm getting at, I think it would be completely stupid not to know a programming language, even if that language would be something like HTML. Even one language gives you a basic understanding on how stuff functions and allows you to become a little more independent. This guy is obv one of those tards which have to be told to turn his computer on and off, or check that its plugged in.

And yes he might be right, leave us alone and we'll talk to ourselves... just means we have enough intelligence to argue with ourselves, which helps us resolve issues about us.

Teach prisoners how to program, I hope someone digitally robs the guy... (I know there are already criminals out there that can program).

If I saw this man in the street I'd be likely to punch him.

The Dark Ages

While I understand guns weren't about in the dark ages, this reminds me of something I read about the dark ages.

The only thing that makes sense, is that the ruling family have been inbreeding amongst themselves for so long that they've totally lost the plot. (Hence the comment title)

I bet it was Kim himself that recorded them having sex, and has become jealous or something silly and decided he'd just have them killed.

With the way the news feeds about this fellow are focused I wouldn't be surprised if his dead before long.

Lol Block Google

I believe google is in the wrong, but blocking anything to do with google will end messy more for our government than google its self. Look at the news feed which stated 40% of the internet went down with google for 2 or so minutes, and then also think about the amount of very very annoyed brits which have lost their youtube, gmail and google search engine access (Lets be honest there are a lot more people who don't care about subject such as this) .

Better thans Apples

At least its less silly than Apples, "look it has round edges on that device!"

I don't get it

So we have to pay for a gold account to use skype...

Don't we already have to have a gold account to use anything worth while on the internet with the current one. The price seems about the same as.

Also if your paranoid about having the xbox one camera in your living room, unplug it when your using it.

All I can imagine is a lot of men stood up and talking to their watch as if they were Buzz Lightyear. I'd I also imagine that would be the best thing entertainment wise you could do with a watch smartphone.

Not surprissing

Nintendo have stayed a head by creating new ways of interacting with games... this new console just doesn't contain anything new. As many people have said, its just a PS3 with a Vita as a controller... I wish it wasn't true, but it is... if they can't come up with anything new, they've killed them selves.
