First-time claims for U.S. unemployment benefits unexpectedly rose last week and total benefit rolls soared to a record high, a sign companies may keep shedding jobs as the recession worsens. First-time unemployment applications increased by 36,000 to 667,000, the highest since 1982, in the week that ended on Feb. 21 from a revised 631,000 the prior week, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The number of people staying on benefit rolls rose in the previous week by 114,000 to 5.112 million. (via Bloomberg.com: Worldwide

People coming to me wanting to develop products to give away for free. When I ask them why, they can’t tell me … they’ve just heard it’s the thing to do. It seems they’re hoping that if they are really nice and give stuff to people, people will eventually want to buy from them. This is yet another example of the micro and SME business aversion to selling … again, the NUMBER ONE thing that kills small businesses.
I know a lot of people want to know about Watchmen, so I’ll just cut to the chase right away: It’s the best movie inspired by a graphic novel that I’ve ever seen. It could have gone wrong in a thousand different places, and it didn’t. I’ve wanted to see this movie for twenty years, and it was entirely worth the wait. Hear me now, my fellow geeks: you have nothing to worry about. Watchmen is fucking awesome.
