    Jewish employees will be receiving a list of their Christian coworkers addresses and are expected to show up on Christmas Day to make sure they are not celebrating and to make sure their children are not receiving inappropriately large gifts. Christian coworkers are expected to visit their Jewish coworkers' homes throughout the 8 nights of Channukah.

    @Gabriel Snyder: can you be a bit more specific? i mean it makes a bit of sense when you post henry's "rich people porn" - but when the content is something you could easily have sourced, opined about and published on your own... its curious.

    @narnio: It's a pretty simple arrangement: Business Insider publishes some of the posts they like on Gawker and we do likewise. The two sites have pretty different audiences and this allows us to introduce BI to our readers and vice versa.

    I like it.

    Glad you guys got along so well after the bounty. Guess this means no competing property short-term, eh? I'd always wondered why Mr. Nick Leeson's Trading Account didn't have a finance property, I guess it's going to stay that way.

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: I was really hoping that this thread would turn into a funeral commemoration about the good-olde days when AOL gobbled up Time Warner. I was working for the Fortune Group (which is part of Time Inc.) in 2000, at the precise moment when the merger hit, and I have some incredible stories.

    We all had stock options as part of our employee package, and were gleefully monitoring the skyrocketing stock prices. Also, in the spring of 2000, the Fortune mag publisher whisked ALL the national staff--editorial, ad sales, the whole crew, including assistants and such--on a one-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to Hawaii. (That was because the Fortune Group overtook People in ad revenue at the height of the dotcom boom, and the publisher wanted to celebrate that.)

    We all stayed in $500 rooms at the Four Seasons Manele Bay Hotel on the island of Lana'i. Everyone had rooms with an ocean view and got comped spa treatments. It's only 9 years ago, but it feels like it happened in some kind of mythical, fairy tale realm.

    In reply to Adobe Joins Pre-Holiday Layoff Wave
    This has nothing to do with piracy, which all software companies have to cope with and include in their cost of doing business.

    This has EVERYTHING to do with Adobe spending 1.8 billion with a B on a questionable acquisition of a spyware company called Omniture. And of trying to push PDF and Flash [yes, Flash] on the US Gov't. And of the offshoring of more American jobs.

    Motoko is correct from the 2000s on when Adobe killed off Pagemaker, Framemaker, and etc. Adobe ceased to be a software company and just became a 'merger & acquisition, technonology destruction company' --because MBAs & bean counters worry more about business ratios than innovation. #layoffs

    Adobe is just a horrible, horrible, insanely awful company.

    It is the Microsoft of graphic design...stifling innovation and making life harder since the earliest years of personal computing. #layoffs

    @Motoko Kusanagi: Nah. Autodesk is the Microsoft of graphic design. They bought the rights to the two definitive 3D graphics programs that are basically the same and sell them separately. #layoffs
