“The next time you reach for a piece of paper and a pen – Don’t! Grab a Boogie Board instead, the tree-friendly alternative [...]

谷歌和百度
一直以来用Google的次数多，用Baidu的次数少，主要是搜索的资料经常是国外的，偶尔需要中文资料时才用用Baidu。另外，Baidu的竞价排名就是个垃圾，搜索出来的结果很多都是与搜索者本意没关联的。举个例子：今天看到个新闻，说是不要轻信网上搜索到的支付宝电话，我很好奇的分别在Google和Baidu试验了一下，得到了大相径庭的结果。

不试不知道, 招聘软件开发的公司对年龄的要求实在是有些奇怪, 对40岁的软件开发人员来说再就业实在是件困难的事情. 由于公司转型, 我最近失业了, 本来以为凭着多年开发的经验, 找个高级软件开发的工作应该不是问题, 实际上却完全不是这么回事.
先是准备好简历, 然后到前程无忧和其他招聘网站找软件开发的职位, 看起来似乎很多合适的位置, [...]
