Well, I just graduated in Jan. and the job hunt has been slow...not stagnant, but not the most promising...Anyway, I am looking for an entry level applications/systems programming or firmware engineering position or even internship and I am having a very hard time finding companies that have jobs suitable for someone fresh out of college. My main job hunting resource is Dice.com (I use it almost exclusively), but I also have a few various other methods that I use occasionally. What can I do to make my job search more effective? It is a very frustrating situation and I don't want to be temping for the next year...Please help, thanks.

I want to submit a request to Apple for the next ipod touch firmware. I want to be able to change the homescreen without jailbreaking. I am a fan of jailbreaking, but unfortunately I don't think you can jailbreak the ipod touch 2nd generation. I have tried QuickPwn, but when i use it when it gets to the "Choose your firmware" part i choose it, but the blue arrow stays inactive and grey. Any suggestions on either jailbreaking it or how to contact apple?

1 answer - Asked By: arun - 10/17/2009
Basically I'm having trouble deciding whether to take computer science courses or physics courses outside the core curriculum of electrical engineering (second year). I think i'm better at physics than at computer science and physics courses could supplement my theoretical knowledge concerning electrical engineering. However, I realize how important and practical computer science is nowadays so that's what's making me double minded. Which discipline chosen as a minor would give me a better chance of landing a good job?

Pretty straightforward question. Which degree would you recommend? Which degree is most flexible? I want to work in a software company, which degree will help more in finding a job? And finally, how do these degrees differ from one another?

I swear, I can't take my computer to class or lectures nowadays without someone bringing up how much "Macs suck" and how I'm such a "sheep" for buying one. Not only that, but every forum I visit, every video I watch always has a big conglomeration of people telling and agreeing with each other about how horrible Macs are. Some people will argue that Mac users act "stuck up", but in all of the situations in which people insult Macs, I have never ONCE seen a Mac user pop up in the conversation anywhere to put in their 2 cents. As for the "They're really expensive" argument, my experiences with PCs have cost me twice as much as my one Macbook, and they've all lasted only half as long... Don't get me wrong, I don't hate PCs at all. I know that they are very useful in their own ways, just as Macs are useful in some ways, too, and I know that they can last a very long time for some people. I have just personally had very bad experiences with PCs and Windows in general, so I opted for Macintosh. But that doesn't make me a sheep, and it doesn't make me a bad person, and my laptop most definitely does not "suck". So, please, give me a good reason for such intense Mac hatred that people actually feel the need to insult and bash others about it, because I see no good reason at all.
