That was the point of my initial posts, hindsight is 20:20, and learning off others experience/failures can be a good thing.
Considering it was one of the largest web advertising companies in the Southern Hemisphere, hardly a player you'd expect to take a fall and be out of business within 6months of contracting there.... It had massive backing, a large list of clients, and employed well over 750 staff in Australia alone.
Then the only thing to learn from this story, like I wrote, is be ready to explain yourself.
Though I understand where you're coming from, you also have to credit the fact there's an expectation of newbies to take every single job coming just because it pays rather than taking a strategic look instead of the day-to-day tactical vision.
Yes, that expectation is correct, and this is because early on one can't be anything BUT tactical. Your AUS story verifies that you should take a portion of payment up front, regardless, and stand tall for decisions you make. Period.
The kind of learning you are suggesting the OP acquire through reading and osmosis is, in fact, only attainable through direct experience. Rather, "newbies" should, instead of prematurely declining jobs on principle, take real steps to reduce the negative impact of numerous INEVITABLE failures through a few basic must-dos when taking on a job. 1) Get up front money, especially from an ostensibly capable client, 2) pay your own bills, 3) do two things at the same time if you're truly worried about "holes" in your CV, 4) don't worry about holes in your CV (see #3), because you need to learn how to EXPLAIN your failures, 5) do some real design.

So Samsung believed Apple was violating it's patents all this time but decided to do nothing about it. Now that they have been pushed they decide to act. Sounds to me they are trying to find whatever they can to bite back at Apple.
Exactly. Apple should change supplier to TSMC or another company.
Looks like Apple picked on the wrong company. Give em' a bloody nose Sammy.
If you hate Apple so much, why are you here?

A-Team
The Other Guys
Wall Street 2
The Town
NBA Jam and NHL 11' for ps3
Very nice panasonic wet/dry shaver (my favorite gift)
3 fleece blankets and a Snugie, haha
2 new sheet sets (The red ones I had from college are not working with a golden retriever who sheds)
400 in Amazon Gift Cards
Sears/iTunes/Home Depot Gift Cards
Macallan 18 year
Cologne (polo black)
Crock pot
but, the big gift was tickets to the Winter Classic, which I sold a few weeks back, because I wanted the 900 from the tickets as opposed to spending 300 out of pocket for a hotel room and getting to pittsburgh.
I'd take a picture, but my iphone broke yesterday and I've got until January 16th until I am eligible for an upgrade at ATT or I may just switch to Sprint or Verizion and get a Galaxy S Android. I can't decide if I want the 4g or Android.

Personally don't get the desire to have push for Tweets. Atleast in my case my world won't come to a screaching halt if I don't get my tweets right away. I have a job and such so I can't afford the time to look at tweets every thirty seconds...cuz...well....I have a job and such. I check them when there is a lul on the action or when I get home.
Then again, I don't have push turned on for my work or personal e-mail accounts either. I want to be in control of my e-mail....not it in control of me.

Sure but the point is that with other apps you have the option of having push, themes and more. It's form over function as said before, unfortunately the function isn't what it could be.

Well the news is out that Comex jailbroke an iPad 2 from 2,500 miles away from the device. Some tweaks and apps, well did not work. Also, Comex said that JailbreakMe should be available on the web not later then this week, if not early next week. So who is excited? I am.

Hey guys is there a cydia app that let's the music override apps & keep playing?
I can't stand when I open certain apps & it turns off my iPod for their crap, just wondering if cydia has an app to change it
Thanks

I think a lot of the Verizon fans are missing the boat on this topic.
This is about Apple expectations for the CDMA iPhone. I would think that Apple is sophisticated enough to bake all the reasons suggested her on this board (i.e. iPhone 5 release, Android adoption, etc) into their expectations.
I'm sure the CDMA iPhone product manager isn't sitting in his office in Cupertino thinking "damn, how did I miss that the iPhone 5 would impact this launch."
AT&T is still selling the heck out of the iPhone 3GS (at a discounted price of course), so there is obviously a population out there that doesn't delay every purchase waiting for the next great thing.

Just buy external hard drives and do they traditional backups.
This sounds good but here is what i run in to
1. I can fit all the media on my imac ( after 3TB) for streaming via itunes and AirVideo
2. External Drives are not backed-up via time machine
I dont trust the drobo for anything but time machine after my recent close call with it.
I currently do monthly backups to sata drives that sit on a shelf when not in use this is a pain but loosing many dollars of media is worse
Are there dives bigger than 3TB to install on my imac?

Not really, Tower Records wasn't working because they didn't move online with their catalogue quickly enough. The commercial real estate is getting way overpriced.
Else why is Virgin Megastore and HMV still around?
HMVs have been closed across the US, and even some Virgins have shut their doors.
I think Tower was just the first in line, not the exception to the rule...
