The Next big Wave of Layoffs is Sony. (9,000 workers)
Comments Off
In a report from Engadget, there seems to be more Layoffs going on. One such one is Sony. Here is what Engadget said:
The bad news from the Japanese consumer electronics industry continues. Sony just announced plans to cut about 8,000 global jobs from its beleaguered electronics business while making unspecified reductions to its seasonal and temporary workforce. The move, as Sony explains it, comes “in response to the sudden and rapid changes in the global economic environment.” Ominously, it looks like Sony will also be raising prices in the countries where “Sony makes significant sales” (read: US and Europe) if we’re reading this statement correctly:

5 ways to improve your chance of getting hired.
Having seen the economy this week, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is time to redo all the important essentials and get all my ducks in the order as they say. I’ve been thinking of how best to be ready in case the dreaded day comes when my employer no longer needs my assistance and what could I do to be prepared.
- Get Someone to Critique your Resume — This is the most important step because this is the first place employers look when they want to hire someone. So how do you get it critiqued? Here are some good links to help you start off with: Careerbuilder Critique, Mind of Root Peer Critique(Last until Oct 30, 2008).
- Have your Resume Ready to upload to Resume sites – You should always register at all the important resume sites just in case. The Sites that I recommend are : Monster, Career Builder, Hot jobs, Dice, US jobs, Best Jobs USA, Computer Jobs, and Nation Job.
- Use your website as a place to put your Resume – Have your resume available in case some contacts you and tells you they know someone who is looking to hire people. Have this resume hidden and only give it out to people you know. This is also known as networking.
The Anime Channel comes to Hulu
I was exploring Hulu and I see they added the Anime Channel. I check it out and they have some good shows that I wanted to get add. You see most Anime I like is, well Japan Animation. Hulu adding that will make more Japan Animations be seen. So What do they have available:
As you can see they are making channels for you to watch. This is getting really good. If you want to check out what channels they have just go to Hulu and there will be Scroll down bar called Channel. I am thoroughly liking how they did this!! I hope to see more Naruto in the future. I hope they can get all the episodes and be up to where they are in Japan. I am also hoping they start put the new episodes directly to Hulu. That would be nice!!
How to Improve Hulu’s Advertising :
Comments OffLately I’ve been looking though Hulu and seeing what else they have done. I’ve found a secret that most people don’t know or haven’t look at just yet. If your tired of some of the ads that come through Hulu. You have the chance to improve the ads by making your voice heard.
Although this isn’t anything new with some stuff. This however can create even better ads for hulu. You see if they can get the right demographic idea of what people like, then they will understand what we as a viewer likes. I simply love this idea. This is a tramendous step for Hulu, this means we have control over advertising, and we can make or break an ad depending on who likes it.
As you can see these are poping up on all or most of the ads. If you would like to make your voice be heard. All you have to do is when an ad comes to you and you like it or hate it just get out of full screen mode by hitting esc (only one time) and you too will see the choices when you hover over that area.
Vista TV Ads Leave me Confused!
Comments Off
Bill Gates and Vista Ad:
So I’ve just got done watching this. I wanted to point to show people this ad and ask people what the heck are they trying to do. Is this like an epic AD start off where they have to meet each other first? I don’t see any real relevance to Vista other than the end of the Commercial! If I was Bill Gates I’d want to have a really good writer making sure there is some kind of relevance to Vista. I can only hope they get better over time. If they keep these this type of acting, these ads won’t get anyone to buy Vista let alone Windows!!

Living the Life of a Blogger 101
Comments OffHaving been blogging for the last few months and years. I’ve learned so much from blogger the platform. I thought I would talk about that in this post. To give those who want to use Googles Blogger platform to there fullest. It is inconsequential to the grand scheme of blogging. It is not enough to just blog it has to be some kind of meaning in it. You have to think of how best can I help people out. It is legal to use fair use. That is why congress has put it into congress.
Fair Use comes from the idea of using something that is ‘Copyrighted’ and use some portion of it to talk about or as a demonstration. Most people don’t understand that, you can use anything on the web as long as you don’t publish there material fully. I like to us hulu for example. I’ve embedded there videos on my site, and talked about Hulu from time. This last few weeks they had clues out on there site. I started trying to solve the clues they Published to better help figuring out there clues. Although they might consider there promotion as being copyrighted. I used there clues to publish what I considered was fair use. They couldn’t do much other than smile that some one started blogging about there clues weekly because once they published there clues. I had the right to try to figure the clues out. I actually loved doing it.
