Does every little sandwich shop have its own app, yet? They will.

I read the Internet from my phone while waiting for a table. I don't when sitting with someone else, unless it's for reference related to the discussion. At an interview? That's not only rude, that plain nuts! I want to tell them what I know and learn as much about the other person as I can. It's illegal to text or access the Internet from a phone while driving (even stopped in traffic) now. I still do it to get the traffic report (navigation). Soon it'll be illegal to use hand-held phones while driving. Nothing will change.

Made geekism normal?

That would tell me everything I would need to know. No need to go any farther.

Yabbut, these days the interviewer may be doing the same, checking the interviewee's Facebook page or whatever.

It will burst. I just told a couple during lunch. When I predicted the same about the housing market in 2005 to another couple (realtors!) they just laughed. Then in 2008 ... *KABLAM* ... now they don't own a house anymore.

With me the interview would be over at that point. A friend had one guy come in for an interview and he wore a T-shirt with the words "People suck". "Have a nice day" ... "B..b..but, I thought I had an interview here today" ... "You just had one".

People said the same thing about electric light, then radio, then TV, then the computer. They all enriched our lives but they all took a toll as well. Nothing's free, and some things really can go too far.

That would have been done well before any meeting.

Why waste your time?

I had a high school kid, coming for an admission interview for MIT... chomping on bubble gum :-( He _did_not_ get approved.

Natural selection >:-}

With just about every cell phone now having GPS and associated accelerometer, I don't know why we don't have a law requiring cell phone designs that disallow texting while they are in motion.

On a visit to SF last year (I'm in SJ) the view from Yerba Buena Gardens showed no fewer than 3. Here's 2 of them:

I keep hoping that such signs are of an upward economy, but I still see many foreclosure signs and businesses closing.

Umm... on the trolly?

It must be insanely complex to do major construction in the heart of a big city. But lots of people seem to be willing.

Is SJ as crazy as SF? 1-br apartments are approaching $3k per month.

I've had people tell me, I'll shave & get a haircut AFTER I'm hired. Yeah, right. NEXT PLEASE!!!

And automatically call 911 when they hit a tree?

I'll interview anyone. It's good practice.

Because of these things they call "passengers".

Doesn't ON-Star do that? ...Jim Thompson

I think texting and Facebook should both be outlawed.

There's been some talk here of having a teen license where passengers are disallowed unless they are adult family members. ...Jim Thompson

How would I know? I've never owned a vehicle with On Star. It's only availible on 'Obama Motors' vehicles, isn't it?

That would not be a smart thing to do. For example, nobody would then be able to use the phone on a bus or train, or while the aircraft taxies to the gate and the captain has allowed cell phone use.

SF is always 25-30 percent higher in SF, ime.

Are incomes really keeping up with these increases? From what my friends tell me, no.

No, it's available as an after market product/service, as well. It may even come in other makes, now.
