    Why are commerce degrees relatively competitive to get into. Especially at UNSW

    As long as you do a safe major you're unlikely to go hungry... but that being said, I know quite a few people who for whatever reason couldn't land graduate positions and ended up going with entry level roles (some accounting some not) which pay about the same as a cadetship. It's not a...

    Swedish police raid the pirate bay, site offline

    It's funny to think that it only takes a couple of guys on their side to think of a new place to move the servers to whereas the governments need to invest much more time to bring them down.

    So what are you guys playing at the moment?

    I'm back playing Gran Turismo 6. I haven't unpacked my consoles yet but I decided to put my PS3 in my bedroom as there's a wall mounted TV there. Hopefully will unpack the PS4, X360 and WiiU this weekend as keen to try them out on new TV/receiver.

    Is it too late to apply for cadetship for next year now?

    IMO get the top 100 accounting firms list (it's published in BRW every year and I'm sure I saw it up on BoS a few years ago) and then visit their websites, look up careers pages, and then see if they have a cadetship/traineeship/etc program. When applications are opening, the institute website...

    I'm applying for a job at HYPE! Quick Q pls

    Given the store and target market, maybe it's the whole concept of taking something fundamental or a necessity, and making it fashionable and stylish- a way of supporting individualism. *shrugs*

    Who gets paid more? Acoountants or Aeronautical Engineers?

    I'm pretty sure the 99% of people who work their ass off for 40 years and don't get rich would disagree. That last bit. I think the statistics you quoted are based on people who did Commerce/Business back 30-40 years ago, and back then, I don't even think Commerce/Business was really much of...

    Who gets paid more? Acoountants or Aeronautical Engineers?

    Over 40 years? That's a tough one given every assumption becomes variable over such a long horizon. Who is to say the aeronautical engineer can't become a CEO or a board member, what happens if it turns out there is oil on Mars and it's possible to bring it back to Earth, etc.. That being said...

    Retina 5k iMac

    Isn't that how most things in technology start out?

    Retina 5k iMac

    I personally am cheaping out and signing up for 300Mbps. Given I only had 100Mbps Bigpond cable Ultimate before and that blew my mind speed-wise, 300 should be more than enough. Some of the providers of fibre to your home here even include two outlets and two routers to ensure you get optimal...

    Reference Letters from teachers

    Agreed it makes for a good reference of character but I wouldn't go to all your teachers. Depending on how involved you were in your school and your own relationships, I'd go for maybe the principal/deputy principal and a key teacher whom you had a strong connection with. It's quality not...

    Retina 5k iMac

    On a TV that may be so (although there seems to be more content available here in Singapore given their 1Gbps internet connections) but on a computer, it's about being able to see the detail either in graphics or data. I've been in a few situations where a 1080p display isn't capable of showing...

    Am I alone in hating airplane food?

    You are too baws for me. I fly economy usually because I'm tight and my employer doesn't provide business class travel. I am finding that airlines which force people to stuff as much as they can into carry on to avoid check in baggage fees results in everyone bringing huge bags onto the plane...

    Paid vs Volunteer

    I assume he means in terms of actual contribution. Whilst it is a broad generalisation, I did note that a lot of business faculty students stretch themselves across a lot of various volunteering opportunities in societies and outside of university, and as a result, the amount of contribution can...

    $20,000 Bentley/Nokia Phone

    I think there's a lot of rival companies providing similar concierge/lifestyle type services. Typically they're issued by banks but in some parts of the world, even automotive companies provide it. My understanding is there's only a few companies which actually *do* the service and the other...

    Retina 5k iMac

    Saw it in store and was wowed in a similar way to when iPad 3 came out and iPhone 4. I know it's not that exciting to some but the whole inability to see the pixels always leaves me impressed.

    $20,000 Bentley/Nokia Phone

    I think it's easier and cheaper to just spend the $50 and buy the official Aston Martin Racing or Porsche Design iPhone cases.

    Keylogger

    I guess with the recent exploit on iOS using enterprise provisioning profiles and links to replace existing apps, it is theoretically possible now... but still requires quite a bit of effort. Wouldn't just be a simple clicking on a link and boom it's installed.

    Paid vs Volunteer

    Do the volunteer work IMO. If it's something you are passionate about, you'll get satisfaction and probably be able to demonstrate a lot more initiative.

    Excel Training

    I don't know if I'd take an Excel certificate seriously especially with the lack of regulation in this space. Besides, you tend to learn it very quickly on the job through actual practice and company-sponsored training, rather than from a book or course. That being said, even in university, I...
