Almost everyone can point to a co-worker and say, "They are overpaid". Maybe that co-worker is lazy. Maybe they work hard, but their results are say, lackluster. Maybe they are a great worker, but they landed in a nice, cushy job. Well, Chris Plummer from Marketwatch has identified what he thinks are the most overpaid jobs in the United States. Longshoremen? Motivational Speakers? This list may make you wonder if it is time for a career change. Especially for those of us in IT.

While I give the ninjas some credit for trying, it still is just a cheap imitation of Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Big Blue has announced an effort to become more green. IBM is the largest Data Center operator in the world, and it will be introducing technology to reduce data center energy consumption and also offer those technologies to customers. By 2010, IBM plans on doubling the computing power at its own data centers without increasing energy consumption.

David Callaway at Marketwatch tells us how he survived the Day the Blackberry Died. This is why I am thankful that I don't have to carry one.

It appears that the producer of The Matrix is prepared to remake Logan's Run. I just stayed up late one night recently to watch this movie (again) on cable. While some of it is cheesy, it is a pretty good movie. Oscar winner Peter Ustinov appeared in it, after all. Now, for the questions all of the men want answered:
Who plays Jessica Six?
Who plays Holly 13?

While most investors originally cheered when Google purchased YouTube, things have hit a bit of a rough patch recently. And, the 'rough patch' is not just limited to lawsuits. Just what should Google do with YouTube? They invested $1.65 Billion in an organization that had only $15 Million is sales last year.

It appears that Apple may be running out of items that they can prefix with the letter "i". Marketwatch says that Cisco is suing Apple over trademark infringement. Cisco claims to own the rights to the "iPhone" trademark since they purchased Infogear in 2000. Infogear filed for the rights to the trademark in 1996.

Marketwatch has a video of the self-parking Lexus LS 460 (I had to use Internet Explorer to view the video). When the driver arrives at the office, they can just site back and finish their morning coffee while the car does the work. Oh, and they also link to a Wall Street Journal article that talks about the doom and gloom around Detroit's Big Three.
