  2. @shelleypowers Where I work we have 3 Java short-term contract positions open. We're having trouble getting H1B developers to say "yes." 1:55 PM May 15th via web in reply to shelleypowers
  3. @shelleypowers Lots of IT jobs here.. if you're an H1B contractor willing to work for peanuts. Quality open positions still in short supply. 5:06 PM May 13th via web in reply to shelleypowers
  4. @kdawson @newsycombinator "All they need to do is to add a password strength checker"? Most of the compromised passwords are plenty strong. 3:30 PM May 9th via web in reply to kdawson

  10. @DavidCarnoy @NathanBransford Amazon gave bestselling ebooks preferred pricing of $9.99. Forrester expects a repeat: digitalbookworld.com/2012/analyst-a… 7:42 AM Apr 15th via web in reply to DavidCarnoy
  11. @DavidCarnoy @NathanBransford Because it's the best-sellers Amazon wants to price at $9.99. They'll need to cover their losses on mid-list. 9:21 AM Apr 14th via web in reply to DavidCarnoy
  12. @NathanBransford @DavidCarnoy "maximizing sales on each product, not just a few top sellers" is the opposite of what Amazon plans to do. 7:21 AM Apr 14th via web in reply to NathanBransford
