Nokia

Is there a point where an employee stating on their CV that they worked for one corporation should make them toxic and unemployable by another? Perhaps not at the lower range, but in the higher management positions, and with some corporations it should. The point is, when someone leaves company A to work for company B, can you be assured they've actually left company A?

Following on from the previous post about how the internet has changed journalism, I've thought of another element to it. Mainstream journalists like to sell their wares (stories) as being of greater value because they are trained. The problem is that journalists, like politicians are not specialists in anything other than furthering their own careers.

In-between rebuilding my sites I have been keeping up to date on the news regarding various IT subjects, including the Microsoft takeover of Nokia, described in the media as a partnership. I also listened to the Meego special from Linux Outlaws and was tempted to try it. It's certainly a different beast than what I expect of a Linux distro.
