Computer grads can't even get jobs offering personal services

Couldn't agree with you more!!! You took the words out of my mouth.

Definitely, the level of most (not all) university graduates from the field of computer science/engineering is much lower than it was ten years ago. The Universities have severely watered down the curriculum so that they can accept more students etc etc. If you want graduates with a high level look at some of the blue chip companies and see from where they are hiring . Intel for example hires most of its R&D people from Israel, even a large amount of Intel's R&D staff in the states comes from Israel. Also significant amount of university graduates are ex Soviet Union who had a very good schooling in maths.

Want a better level graduate, you can't throw so much money away at revamping t he Banks of the world.We need to invest more money in education. You get what you pay for!

Invest in what matters , education.

Google tries to quietly trample on Apple's toes

Google signals final demise of AT&T

The nexus is Google testing the hot water in the bathtub. The next step will be cell phones and calls will be for free , no contract just advertising. If Google were to do this right now the FCC would come down hard on them with support from all the other telcos After they are in the marker for approx six months you will see this model jump up.Mark my words, google will break the back of the telcos, its only a matter of time. Just as netbooks broke the back of high priced netbooks because there was no justification in paying the premium for a system which cost one tenth of the price to build, Also telcos are raking it in with cellular lines. Not for long as Google is set to break this very popular cartel. Go Google go, we are rooting for you!!!!!!!!!!!!
