There are very mixed opinions as to whether the general economy is getting better or not. I have seen many positive things about the tech industry and the below article points some of them out. Take a look at the article at http://www.eweek.com/c/a/IT-Management/6-Critical-IT-Hiring-Trends-to-Watch-in-2010-286878/?kc=EWKNLCSM06152010STR1

I have to admit , the ipad has a "cool factor" . I don't know of anyone that has one that does not like it , , , only die hard PC users tend to not get excited about it. Even one of our Experts, Ken Getz, is a MAC user and if he doesn't have an ipad likely will get one (Ken, you should weigh in on this one) .
This blog is done for all you ipad users to let you know that the ipad isn't that cool, that the netbook actually rules. . . it is also done for you "non-ipaddies" that need some encouragement to not drink the ipad kool-aid, also may help you non-ipad people build up your self esteem when you aren't holding a cool ipad. I read an article that identifies the 10 reasons the netbook is better than an ipad and the link to it is below .

How many of you are ipad users? Do any of you that have one dislike it? Why?
Enjoy,

In the last half of 2010 the hiring of personnel in the Computer Science and Math Science is expected to be at the highest level since October 2008. Read the short article at http://www.eweek.com/c/a/IT-Management/Hiring-Expected-to-Be-Robust-in-Second-Half-of-2010-369995/?kc=EWKNLCSM06082010STR3
One quote in the article that bodes well for those IT professionals that are up to date with current technologies is : "There is a host of other good news to report in the Dice Survey: Salaries for new hires are rising for 25 percent of respondents; Nearly 70 percent of those polled do not expect layoffs to occur; Recruiting for new hires is at 20 percent compared to 9 percent in the fall of 2009."
