Poor choice of comments...

Motorola needs to have its CEO recalibtrated. The ROKR is not
that much of a cell phone, and with only a 100 tune capacity, it's
no competition to any iPod model, or anyone else's MP3 player.
Sure, Motorola will sell a bunch of the things. Just think of all the
Q-Ray bracelets that have been sold, and the ROKR actually
works!

But not for me. I have my Sony Cybershot, my iPod Mega, and
once in a while, I even carry my cell phone - if I can find it. It was
around here someplace maybe last week or so.

Why focus on math and science education

in the U.S. when every company is so focused on outsourcing technical work? I think these companies are crying foul because they are tired of competing with each other for the few thousand PhDs that graduate each year.

Hey Zander, Sun laid me off for an Indian counterpart

Ed Zander's comment about tech education is a joke. My entire
department at Sun, consisting of some of the best engineers I've
ever worked with, were laid off and replaced by a group in India
for half the cost. It isn't bad education in the US, it's the greed
and shortsightedness. Sun wants it's employees to work for dirt
wages, and when they don't, they whine about not being able to
find educated engineers, and then use that as an excuse to
outsource.... What a hypocrite.
