That's right. We're hiring for XUL hackers at Yahoo!

Prime candidates will have a wealth of cross-platform C/C++ development experience as well as XUL/Javascript/XPCOM experience. Hopefully, you've already written your own XUL application and used an XPCOM extension as a part of that application. If you've ever submitted a patch to the Mozilla code base that's a huge plus. We fully expect that folks on the team may lean heavily to the DHTML/XUL/Javascript/Python or C++/XPCOM side of

Technology companies cut nearly 60,000 U.S. jobs in the first three months of the year, twice the number trimmed in the same period last year and the biggest loss of jobs in the sector since late 2003, according to a new report.

The article doesnt really go out on a limb with any of these predictions and therefore it should be solid. However, keep in mind it comes from consulting firms. The same firms that probably predicted the bubble would never burst. The overall take, we too
