                          Here's a weird detail about AOL's layoffs: Employees have to apply to be fired -- and its not guaranteed their bosses will say yes.

                          Yesterday, AOL CEO Tim Armstrong told workers the company needs 2,500 employees to quit the company before it spins off in December. He said [...] ]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/1n3fKvmEz-E/job-board-post-2009-11 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:00:00 -0500 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/1n3fKvmEz-E/job-board-post-2009-11

                            Harbinger Capital, the hedge fund that once seemed poised to shake up the New York Times, has again reduced its stake in the company.

                            Google’s recent demo of Chrome OS answered several important questions about how a browser-only OS would operate. One of those questions is how it would handle removable storage. As you can see when the demo unit is attached to a digital camera, using a Web browser as a file browser [...] ]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/zlXKNSZ1oMY/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:52:00 -0500 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/zlXKNSZ1oMY/
