It's no secret that some employers do more than just look at resumes and conduct interviews when deciding when to hire someone. With social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, it's fairly simple to discover someone's actual personality. It's always a good idea to assume what you post on the internet could be used against you. The Federal Trade Commission recently gave Social Intelligence permission to use social networks, blogs or the internet in general as ways to gather information when conducting background checks. There's little that you can actually do about it either. While you have the option to… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for . | Comment on this Article »

A single line was removed from the bottom of the sign-in page. That one line provided a link to sign up for Hulu Plus.

RIM has seen better times. At this point in time, its BlackBerry smartphones are falling behind in the market. Customers are flocking to the iPhone and various Android devices at increasing rates. BlackBerry phones just don't have the third-party support or the all-important "it factor" that's required of phones these days.

Weinberg goes as far as filtering out sites like Demand Media’s eHow.com which he refers to as a “content mill” providing high volumes of articles with what he believes to be, “low-quality content designed specifically to rank highly in Google’s search index.” In addition… Full Story » | Written by Tarun Kunwar for . | Comment on this Article »
