If "standards of 1998" means proper parsing and display of metadata in various character sets from various sources (local file, internet streams etc), wide input format support, gapless playback and Replaygain support, relatively low resource usage, instantaneous search and unrestricted customizability then I wished more music players followed them.
Man... That's bad.Aol Music really has unique, good, high quality video content. For me the content was always hard to find, but when I found a star I wanted to watch/listen, I was amazed what exclusive videos they have had produced with that particular star.
- maybe I confuse Aol Sessions with Aol music - Aol sessions is great.
There's a difference between being fired and being made redundant usually. (Although perhaps US terminology is different, in the UK usually "fired" refers to dismissal, redundancy is a different process with more compensation and a process employers must follow.)
The equivalent phrase here would probably be "laid off" but the definitions are a little fuzzy. People say "laid off" as a polite euphemism for fired and people use "fired" when they're upset about about being laud off.
Would you want to hire someone that live tweets everything that goes on at your firm? Most companies would rather not risk being held hostage (so to speak) by their employees if the management decides it needs to shut down a department or stop offering a product.
The only reason I can think of that it'd be a terrible idea, is the company might then choose to be dicks about how they treat you post firing, regarding negotiations on benefits or any number of smaller details.
I read the headline and thought that HR was literally watching Twitter while the internel jumbles were going on, and any employees tweeting about it were being fired. I thought "how innovative and terrible of HR." Turns out, the headline was just a bit weird.
