Slashdot post asks (in a nutshell): Whose responsibility is it for training, anyway? Yours? Or your company’s? To run the risk of sounding like some cliche: It depends now, don’t it? If the technology is something proven – – and by “proven” I mean it’s something the company already knows that it wants you to […]
Previously on found_drama: we got inside a 3G iPod and then speculated on Frankensteining it into a so-called iPod Super – – and now… Command-Tab’s iPod Junior?
As the “Mozilla vs. Apple” debate continues here at F_D, Gruber and a few others in my RSS feeds point out: Camino goes to 1.0 beta 2. Great. A Cocoa-based browser with the Gecko engine underneath. Before I know it, I’ll have all 83 browsers loaded up…
