Android Honeycomb’s Going Gets Tough

Of late, Android developers are in a fix. It has been six months since the launch of the Android Honeycomb Tablet in the Market and it has not garnered a potential user base. The problem clearly lies in the dearth in apps optimized for the Android Tablets and analysts are of the view that an evident lack of these Honeycomb aka Android 3.0 Applications is what makes it a less chosen Tablet as opposed to the Apple’s iPad. But any new technology faces such non-acceptance in the beginning; the Honeycomb tablet also had its share of tough criticism and rejection from the global consumers with Apple being the dominant competitor today in the market. Android developers are trying their best to convince their consumers that the Android optimized apps will see a rise by the end of 2011 despite its sluggish start.

When the going gets tough for IT employees, they exclaim – Tough gets Going!

It does seem as though the going will get tougher for people who are struggling to make it big in the IT industry, especially for those residing in developed nations like America and England. Aspirations to build a career in IT, could demand you to move to regions like Jonesboro, Ark., Sebeka, Minn., or Macon, Mo. Thanks to the new trend called Rural Outsourcing employees are having to choose to settle in such rural areas in order to make their mark in the technology field.

Tough Times Create an Ethical Dilemma for Job Seekers

A job seeker on the Dice Discussions board asked if it's ethical to keep interviewing, even though he'd accepted a conditional job offer. After all, he'd be wasting the interviewer's time. In a vibrant economy, a well-intentioned job seeker would probably cancel upcoming interviews, because employers seldom reneged on an offer. But in this tepid economic environment, a struggling company may rescind an offer and it could take months for the job seeker to rebuild a pipeline of opportunities.


Job seekers have to watch out for themselves during tough times, and new hires are particularly vulnerable to lay offs, especially if the company decides to cut staff during their probationary period. Plus, you don't know how a company may interpret your credit score or background information and, though it's rare, errors do occur and a company may refuse to put you on the payroll until your record has been cleared.



The bottom line is this: Keep interviewing until you feel reasonably secure in your new job. If you want to avoid damaging your reputation, let the manager know at the beginning of an interview that you've received a conditional offer. He or she may shorten the meeting, but sharing the news could actually work in your favor because the idea of competing for your services could pique his interest. Even if you end up accepting another offer, a manager will appreciate your honesty. In fact your candor may help you keep the door open in case you need to replenish your pipeline of opportunities.
