In the be-careful-what-you-wish-for department, I found this an interesting reflection on the current state of the Blogosphere… It’s been popping up all over the place, so forgive me if you’ve already seen it… "15 year old student, Tom Vendetta has been hired by search engine giant Google Inc. The student will receive a lowered salary, which will be placed into a bank account for future education, said Google CEO Larry Page. When asked what role Vendetta will play at the Tech Giant's offices, Page said he wouldnt have a role at the Main Offices. Instead he would work from his home in the New Jersey suburbs. Vendetta will be incharge of working with recent security flaw's in Google's beta e-mail service, "Gmail". Google said they first found out about him when they discovered the student's blog, at http://tomvendetta.be. The media giant said they looked forward to working with Vendetta's expertise in JavaScript and AJAX." It turns out the whole thing was a hoax based on a bogus press release penned by Tom Vendetta that found its way onto Google News, putting a damper on the devout fanboy's dream of actually joining the Google payroll.
No... Not that Vendetta!
