Glassdoor, company which collects information about employees in different companies anonymously and voluntarily, presented a report saying that people working in Facebook are not only paid more but also the social network offers a better work environment.

Here’s the rating for most important companies salaries in the software engineer category:

Google offers an average annual salary of $98K and Facebook for the same jobs is giving $110K, making this the most important salary around all companies; Cisco, Yahoo and Apple appears right after Facebook.

But that’s not all, work climate is an important factor in every job; and Facebook makes a difference in this area as well.

Based upon a 5-point scale, Facebook scores 4.6 as the top company in work environment; Google appears third with 3.9 (AOL and Apple appear fourth and fifth). And, surprisingly or not, HP offers the “worst” work climate raked with 2.7.

Jobs Answers about iOS 4 Performance on iPhone 3G

Augusto Alvarez — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:58:51 +0000

Steve Jobs is answering e-mails to customers, again, this time answering about a user concern about iOS 4 poor performance on iPhone 3G. Jobs said that Apple is already working on it and there’ll be an update soon.

We’ve seen earlier how Steve Jobs took a little time to elaborate short responses about, sometimes, important issues. This time, the problem is regarding about iOS 4 which had a big presentation with iPhone 4; but apparently Apple didn’t realized that this OS has several and important performance issues on 3G devices.

Fortunately for those 3G owners and using the words of Jobs “update coming soon”.

The user said:

“I’ve waited patiently through 4.0.1 and 4.0.2, looking for a fix that will make my phone work again. I’ve read the forums that advise me to jailbreak my phone or use some other method so I can downgrade back to a version of iPhone 3, however I’m not prepared to use a method that is not supported by Apple.”

Jobs’ answer:

“Software update coming soon.

Sent from my iPhone”

Three Widgets Every Professional Should Have On Their Blogger Blog

Dean Sherwin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:32:34 +0000

It’s a well-known fact that employers tend to Google prospective job candidates’ names before they hire them. This is in an effort to weed out people who they may no want affiliated with their company. For instance, say you tweet all the time about how you’re out getting wasted and you’re hung-over every Monday. Do you think you’ll get the job then? No. So many professionally (especially web workers) are pimping out their online presence to make themselves look better. One of the most basic ways to do this is to spice up you blog and combine it with other areas of your social media.

Here are three widgets every professional should have on their blog:

1. A Twitter Feed. A real-time widget featuring your personal twitter account is definitely a good idea; it shows employers that you lead a good, lawful life (if you only tweet the good things, that is!). You can download one here.

2. A Summary Widget. These can be created using the text input features. While they’re not the most flashy – employers always read them. Details listed in a casual manner such as your previous employment, interests and personality are all great topics to summarize here.

3. LinkedInABox. LinkedIn is the professional social networking site which many use to house the best-of-the-best of their portfolios. So why not spread some of that love to your blog? Here is a link to the widget.

So do you think it’s time you gave your online presence a makeover?
