Jobs and IT
A couple of items here. First let's say you're a programmer. This article tweeted by Eddie Awad is about jobs to avoid: 8 Questions To Identify A Lame Programming Job.
But what if you are already working in an Office Space company? (Office Space is the THE classic movie on the hell of being a junior IT person in a badly run company.) If you find that your workplace is at the intersection of Office Space and Dilbert you may want to move to being a DBA or Sysadmin. It sounds like being a Linux admin might be have the most prospects at the moment since they are much in demand: Need a Job? Learn Linux.
Mobile Computing
This is one of my pet peeves, so I thought I'd share it. Oracle AppsLab tweeted this article at Technology Review: All Web Developers Should Stop Doing This Immediately. I absolutely hate being shifted from the open web to somebody's 'me-too' app that let's you see a poorly designed magazine/newpaper/feed instead of using Safari or one of the other good mobile browsers. Even more annoying are those lovely 'mobililized' swipe me pages that use iOS page switching and think that compensates for locking the font size to something unreadably small. If you're going to do that, at least put a big button at the top that says: 'Load regular, non-helpful version that I can open in reader in Safari and actually read.'
