How To Succeed In Business (Without Really Trying)

May 26, 2010

(FIXED silent episode problem)

The nerds are getting down to business this week.  For example, just how much time and money was lost this week when Google turned it’s homepage into a Pac-Man emulator? More importantly, does anyone care?  If anyone does, it might well be a go getter like Alec Brownstein… the young whippersnapper who landed himself a job by appealing to the hubris of his potential employers.  How did it turn out?  We ask him ourselves!

Business is booming for the info ladies of Bangladesh – those two wheeled mavens of  modern tech who pedal their way through the townships doling out advice on anything from crop diseases to contraception. (two topics related only through alliteration)

Bill Gates used to be in the business of seeing the future (before HE started ridding the world of crop diseases).  So, ten years ago when he made some bold predictions about the future of computers, how well did he do?  The nerds have a look.  For example, did he predict the end of instant messaging?

Plus, the best phony Twitter accounts, William Shatner gives Art a touch of Tourette Syndrome, and how we might be able to tell which space pioneer pleased the ladies more.  Oh, and if you thought vajazzling was gone… think again.
