Blackberry and iPhones and The 24-Hour Worker
2008-06-22 11:20:00 Shel Holzt writes about the developing 24-hour work cycle and he seems to think it's a good thing. I'm not certain of that, but before I take him to task, I will report that I've learned that such an addiction to electronic communications devices is not a good health practice. In fact, it's called just the term I used "an addiction." The DailyMail reports Blackberry email devices can be so addictive that owners may need to be weaned off them with treatment similar to that given to drug users, experts warned today.Wow. The DailyMail Online goes on to explain that overuse can be damaging to mental health. But interestingly it doesn't say why. Let's speculate. Perhaps overuse causes severe memory loss, because without checking your iPhone -- I have an i Phone -- you realized you actually don't remember anything. You've given up remembering because you check your iPhone all the damn time.

Law Firm Sues DHS Over Illegal Expansion of Guest Worker Program
2008-06-02 06:52:00 Remember when I wrote that the DHS rule change on the OPT program was illegal? Well apparently a powerful group of attorneys thought so too and decided to take legal action. From ComputerWorld, , H-1B opponents challenge Bush administration in court: The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Newark, N.J., by the Immigration Reform Law Institute and joined by The Programmers Guild and other groups, charges that the administration's decision in April to extend the work period for students under the Optional Practical Training provision is little more than an effort to get around the H-1B cap limit They did this with absolutely no legal basis," said John Miano, founder of The Programmers Guild in Summit, N.J. He said the federal extension will hurt U.S. workers who are seeking job training because it will divert training resources to foreign workers. "We hear over and over again that U.S. workers do not have the skills to do the job," he said. Some of the occupational areas covered...

Worker at GM plant fired over Camaro photo leak
2008-06-01 03:57:00 Worker at GM plant fired over Camaro photo leak An electrician working at General Motors' Oshawa Assembly Plant lost his job this past week after company officials linked him to the leak of several photos showing a prototype Camaro body shell. The photos found their way onto the internet May 22nd and were published by multiple major automotive websites, including Leftlane. Details of the leak come via a source within the plant, who claims to have intimate knowledge of the controversy. According to our tipster, the employee — who has 28 years seniority — used a camera phone to take pictures of the body to show to his children at home. Unfortunately for the unidentified employee, friends of his children got ahold of the photos and distributed them on the Web. It's not known exactly what the photos depict, but it appears GM might be starting to test the assembly process at the Oshawa, Ontario plant, where the Camaro (and other Zeta-platform variants...

The Down & Out Sex Worker
2008-04-23 20:16:00 The apparently glamorous world of prostitution has taken another recent battering with revelations concerning one Heather Mills. The person who discussed Heather's former life as an elite escort is her former work buddy. Ah, colleagues. What would you do without them? Is there such a thing as professional friendship, or is this a case of desperation? Denise Hewitt apparently worked as a high priced escort, but I guess she didn't make the big time or snag a rich hubby (like Heather), so now she is riding on Mills' coat tails. It is all fine and dandy for a professional to proclaim discretion, but is there such a thing as complete privacy? A down and out sex worker can be a formidable force for about five minutes. Outing a dead billionaire isn't as exciting as the occupational revelation. It was one thing to reveal nude pictures of Heather, but the 'sex worker' apparently requires a documentary. I guess it's a dark day in the world of sex work.

Motorola's hunt for a miracle worker
2008-04-15 19:22:00 The wireless giant's handset business needs a genius to turn itself around.ERO WANTED: No. 3 player in hot market needs thick-skinned CEO for a salvage and rescue job.Okay, so that's not quite the ad that wireless giant Motorola is running these days at it searches for a new chief for its mobile phone business - but it might as well be. Broken, leaderless and bleeding red ink, Motorola's handset unit is about to be spun off so the rest of the company can prosper.It's been a rough tumble for the Schaumburg, Ill. wireless titan that 10 years ago sat atop the cell phone industry. Each week seems to bring new lows in the stock and a yawning absence of new products to pin hopes on. Just how low the phone maker has fallen was apparent recently when a leading Indian appliance manufacturer signaled its interest in buying the division.Last month, Motorola (MOT, Fortune 500) set out to find a new CEO for its mobile phone business after Greg Brown was named head of the entire company.
