If true, this is absolutely outrageous!

If true, this is absolutely outrageous!

Reshared post from +Jason Calacanis

Shocking photos of employee costume party as a law firm that specializes in foreclosures were published in the nytimes (and shared on Boingboing and here on Google+ by a couple of folks like +Wil Wheaton).

Do these folks realize that they are no different than the folks who are losing their homes? I mean, many Americans are only one layoff away from losing their homes. This reminds me of the cops giving Occupy Wall Street protestors a hard time, while their pensions, salaries and benefits are being annihilated due to us not taxing the rich and the greed of wall street (via their pension funds).

We're all in this together…. even the mega rich. If thing continue the way they are folks are not only going to be protesting in front of the homes of the rich–they are going to start burning them down.

This is a serious situation for America. We have to get our act together and I am in full support of the Occupy Protests–even if my protest is trying to create sustainable jobs for Gen-Y folks who in many cases don't want them.

+Phil Nickinson gives the best rebuttal yet of the ridiculous Android fragmentation… 7

+Phil Nickinson gives the best rebuttal yet of the ridiculous Android fragmentation chart published by +Michael DeGusta the other day.

As flawed the chart is, even Phil missed one of the most egregious errors of the chart is the indication that all generations of the iPhone have been updated to the current software which is absolutely untrue. In fact the first gen iPhone was cut off from updates when iOS 4 was released 16 months ago. The iOS 5 compatibility chart on the Apple website http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html shows that the 3G and the first two generations of the iPod Touch are no longer capable of running iOS5 and as Phil accurately points out, the 3GS and 4 are incapable of running several iOS5 features such as Siri.

This is not a good chart Let’s not mince words here: This “Android and iPhone Update History” chart is not a good chart. Oh, it’s a pretty chart, to be sure artfully illustrated and researched.
