Apple's new iPad tablet computer has spawned some mixed reactions. Some over-hype it as "magical" and "transformative." Others have criticized its weight , lack of Flash support, or closed architecture. Personally, I'm bullish on the product. I agree with those analysts who predict that Apple will sell millions.

eMarketer recently published results of the 2010 Digital Marketing Outlook survey in which marketers reported their priorities for investment in the coming year.

It's dangerous to confuse greed with capitalism. Doing so inevitably leads to the conclusion that government is the answer. Government doesn't 'create jobs'.

As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity.

If that ratio is bad (following many, followed by few) which it is for many spammy network marketers, people will shun you and avoid following you without another thought.

Despite the turbulence, recruiting professionals should be encouraged by recent trends.
