Friday round-up: DefCon, Facebook, tech jobs, and rock-paper-scissors.
by The editorial team
We’ve had some URLs of interest just sitting around the editorial desk. Now it’s Friday and time to share with you:
- World’s fastest computer runs on Linux
- Rolling Stone has become quite the tech reporter of late. Check out this article on the founding of Facebook. Geeks, code, intrigue… perhaps even betrayal. It’s like a bedtime adventure story for little nerds.
- Is this your job? If so–consider this as an alternative to [career] suicide?
- Short story to read: The Things that Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away by Cory Doctorow
- Got a little time on your hands this weekend? Perhaps lure your friends in a Paper, Rock, Scissors battle. Wired has a tutorial on winning this game for all ages. (For those wanting something a little more substantial, check out the sneak peek of this year’s DefCon badge.

I do not think that first URL is what you think it is.
Unless the name of that Supercomputer is the “Pineapple Express”…

I do significant networking on Facebook. Two new job sites where just added to the About.com top ten employment site list if you’re out of work:
http://www.linkedin.com
http://www.realmatch.com
Good luck to those looking for work….its a jungle out there.

Thanks spot! Turns out that site reuses links. I’ve updated it to something that should be more stable.
