No no, this is some stupid Silicon Valley blog post about firms having to “batten down the hatches” during rough economic times. God knows I have read enough of that to make a bomb shelter good enough for a four year obama/mccain presidency. This is just a whitewhine.com. If I could pick a month to [...]
