Microsoft released Office 2007 Service Pack
I guess you can figure out where I get most of my news from. ZDNet posted this today:
First Office 2007, SharePoint 2007 service packs ready for download by ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley — Microsoft has released the first service pack (SPs) for Office 2007 and SharePoint Server 2007 — a calendar quarter ahead of schedule. So what’s coming in the first Office System 2007 SP update and how is it being rolled out? Read on.
Quick, run, go! Get it before something bad happens. Mary Jo Foley wrote on ZDNet that
There don’t seem to be any huge, show-stopper bugs that Microsoft is addressing in either of the new service packs.
but this is likely because if they did fix any gaping holes, there would leave less for them to do in the future. For a while, it’s been widely believed that Microsoft patched any existing holes by cramming the QuickTime player into them and holding the patch together with gum and popsicle sticks.
An Update on Flex Hourly Rates, and then some

That’s a big change in a few days. Is this thing accurate? We’ve all been burned by outsourcing at one point or another I’m sure, but here’s a little contrast for ya. Here’s a site devoted to indentured serv….er…I mean outsourcing, oDesk.com. That link takes you to a Flex job that pays a hefty $16.33/hr. For a bonus, I think they slap you across the mouth when you’re done. That’s just one of their jobs, and I’ve seen others while surfing. There are a ton of grossly underpaid job postings, and with our powerful economy, I’m thinking they’ll have a hard time finding someone will to work for a slap in the mouth. Alright, that was sarcastic.
I’m more familiar with Indeed.com and their graphs, which are supposedly actually reflected by current job posting trends (searches by keywords in job postings). Here’s one for example for a search of adobe flex, adobe flash.
