iWant

Ok so Apple, A.K.A. technoGODS have come out with something I MUST HAVE

I am actually hyperventilating over this -- watch the demos:

ITS SO MONEY

WARNING: symptoms may include increased heart rate, excessive salivation, shortness of breath, and the urge to blow your children's college savings fund

In other news, Google was just voted the best place to work:

At Google you can do your laundry; drop off your dry cleaning; get an oil change, then have your car washed; work out in the gym; attend subsidized exercise classes; get a massage; study Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish, and French; and ask a personal concierge to arrange dinner reservations. Naturally you can get haircuts onsite. Gourmet lunch is free at the onsite cafeteria. Want to buy a hybrid car? The company will give you $5,000 toward that environmentally friendly end. Care to refer a friend to work at Google? Google would like that too, and it’ll give you a $2,000 reward. Just have a new baby? Congratulations! Your employer will reimburse you for up to $500 in takeout food to ease your first four weeks at home. Looking to make new friends? Attend a weekly TGIF party, where there’s usually a band playing. Five onsite doctors are available to give you a checkup, free of charge.

Also on the list was Wegman's grocery, which sends employees on 10 day research trips to places like France, Thailand, Japan, and Italy.

How does YOUR company compare? ;-)

Thanks... now i'm depressed about my workplace! Does google have any offices on the east coast? hehe

I wish they'd do something to influence other companies to do similar things - especially since they can show those corporate hogs that u can treat people right and still make money!
