    How Long The Hiring Process Takes For Tech Jobs

    As someone who handles hiring at my company, I can say I used to be able to hire someone in a few days. With new rules involving how many people I have to interview, how the selection process has to work to ensure fairness (and avoid lawsuits), background checks and drug tests - then if the new...

    Gabe Newell Says Windows 8 Is A 'Catastrophe'

    This is well said. Microsoft has rarely ever innovated, usually just copies other good ideas. This time they are trying to innovate and be part of the future instead of a part of history. ...and I don't need a hug, I feel just fine about my opinions.

    Gabe Newell Says Windows 8 Is A 'Catastrophe'

    Bwahaha! I've probably been using and building PCs since before you were born, but your opinions are yours and I won't insult them for the sake of insulting them. I simply don't find this "change" to be that steep. It looks different, but it's all still windows to me. Perhaps I'm just more...

    Gabe Newell Says Windows 8 Is A 'Catastrophe'

    BTW, I use steam on the W8 preview fine. Does the icon look pretty? No, but it works fine.

    Gabe Newell Says Windows 8 Is A 'Catastrophe'

    I sell PCs as part of my job. I still have people bitching about how W7 looks different from XP and they want XP. It's old, it's not secure, it looks like crap and using any new hardware is a problem. On top of that, it's not really that different. Neither is W8. It's W7 with a different...

    Gabe Newell Says Windows 8 Is A 'Catastrophe'

    The other catastrophe is Linux. Not for those of us in this forums, but for the other 99.9% of PC users in the world. Normal people just want stuff to work, that's not what any Linux distro offers. If Gabe wants to bet his future on the Linux platform I say go ahead, but employees at Valve...

    Steve Jobs Action Figure?

    Wait for Version 2.0, everyone knows that anything involving a Jobs release to the public means that the first one is beta. It will likely catch fire or if you grip it incorrectly it will break.

    Google Pays Bloggers To Promote Chrome?

    This should surprise me but doesn't. Google's business is about collecting information to better sell advertising with. 99% of people using Google anything don't realize any of this, so the more people they can get to run Chrome the better for them, so it's a good investment for them. It's also...

    You’re Holding it Wrong II

    I've got an HD7 and if this affects reception, I haven't noticed. After nearly a month of having it I haven't dropped one call and can't get my signal to drop at all trying this.

    Microsoft Prepping a New Zune for 2011?

    My ZuneHD is the best tech product I own, so I hope they keep the product line alive. A windows phone 7 without a phone would be a very nice device.

    Windows Phone 7 Marks a New Era in Mobile Gaming

    I have yet to be happy with a smartphone, and while I doubt Windows phone 7 will be perfect out of the box, I think they are putting together a very useful product I am looking forward to.

    BF Ads anyone?

    It's not been covered well, but the OfficeMax ad with the $150 netbook was a fake. No such ad exists. The real ad blows.

    Why Chrome OS Will Fail, Big Time

    It may be OK in a dual boot situation if it boots in just a few seconds, but otherwise completely useless. They just keep trying to sell me cloud computing and I'm just not buying. I want my photos, music and documents in MY posession, not on some server where I have to find some sort of...

    High-Tech FAIL of the Day

    Exactly. The electric chair and lethal injection are far slower ways of killing someone than a guillotine. Keep it simple and quick.
