No recession for developers?

IT personnel somehow do not feel the effects/pains of recession - there is no paycut, no unemployment or gloomy future. Jobs keep coming for developers, such as these:

Jobs from TenCube
wants direct marketeers/tech evangelists, Symbian lead, Winmos lead, BlackBerry lead and infrastructure lead

Jobs from PropertyGuru
wants Web 2.0 (up to $4.5k!) and team lead/web architect (at least $5k!)

Jobs from Human Network Labs
wants Facebook platform and every mobile platforms

Jobs from Microsoft
wants web evangelists/slaves

Jobs from tweets in the air and twitter itself!

This is the recession period, so why keep on hiring developers?

Because number of computing devices and users grow at Moorse's Law, but the number of people who really can talk to computers do not.

If you are a web dude, or a mobile dude, or speak languages that a sales guy do not understand, do contact me.

Warning: iPhone could kill your creativity

I have long suspected that iPhone could make human dumber, since there is is an app for everything.

From the post Is the iPhone killing your Creativity?, a researcher asked a group of schoolchildren to write whatever they liked and let their imagination runs wild. But the schoolchildren's creativity were disappointing.

The researcher spent months to find the root of the problem, and she concluded the lack of creativity is due to lack of "empty time", or otherwise known as a time to daydream.

The capacity to daydream enables a person to fill empty time with an enjoyable activity that can be carried on anywhere

With an iPhone, whenever you are bored, you would kill time with it.

No more daydreaming, no more creativity. That is the root of the problem.
