Things are going from bad to worse for all those still clinging onto jobs at the failing Blockbuster. Deloitte's just announced that 164 more stores are closing with around 800 jobs lost. It just goes to show you can't compete in an online world with crummy brick and mortar rental stores. Read More >>
Apple's rather annoying personal butler is coming to the Mac, if Apple's latest job posting is any indication anyway. Sounds like Siri's going to be able to interact with and control pretty much any app on a Mac. But would that really be a good thing? Read More >>
Ashton Kutcher, method actor, truly goes the distance to capture the essence of a character. In the case of portraying Steve Jobs for the upcoming indie flick jOBS, Kutcher put himself on a diet of strictly fruits, nuts, and seeds, mimicking Jobs 'fruitarian' lifestyle. Read More >>
Today I saw jOBS at Sundance, the story of a young Steve Jobs, the now legendary co-founder and CEO of Apple Computer. And although I know it may be exaggerated, it was the experience I wanted. Read More >>

Facebook's trying to be all socially-responsible-like and help reduce youth unemployment with a new job search function. Overlooking the fact that it's US-only at the moment, it's frankly just an unoriginal, broken, terrible excuse for an app. Read More >>

An eminent UK chocolate taster has quit his dream job after being warned by doctors that his health was seriously jeopardised by the chocolate scoffing trade. Over two years, Angus Kennedy, 47, put on two stones in weight and a rise in cholesterol levels put him at risk of a heart attack. Read More >>
It amazes me that crap products make it out of the factory, be it software or hardware. Surely at some point someone must have said, hang on, this is a bit rubbish, no? Well, it looks like Apple knew its maps were shit before launch, it just didn't have the expertise to fix it. Read More >>

After all therumours and denials, Valve's just posted a very interesting job listing, which basically confirms that it's getting into the gaming PC business. In fact, the listing actually says Valve's "frustrated by the lack of innovation in the computer hardware space" so it's "jumping in" itself -- you can't get much more of a confirmation that a "Steam Box" than that.
