Facebook is a destination and Google's products are utilities. There is a big difference there. Facebook has positioned itself as the answer to the "portal" craze of the late 90's - by wrapping it around a social environment. Games, news, classifieds - its all starting to get bigger and bigger. Google has always focused on aggregation and utility - to become a destination will mean lots of catching up. But then again, with all that money, some key acquisitions could get the job done too.  View

and even better--it's China. we already know the massive world power's government could care less about the environment or even the numerous coal workers. but australia is supposed to be relatively green, forward-thinking, and financially stable. it lacks excuses for this Chinese mining agreement.  View

This plan is definitely different, but if it works then employees may be happier and healthier. This could lead to a more productive work environment and could make employees feel like they are not only trusted but also respected. My only fear is they will be expected to answer calls and emails about work-related issues and will really get no vacation at all.  View

I see this being very productive in a structured environment. For instance, if I know that we need to push a product next week, but after that there's no pressing deadlines, I'll do double-time to get to the finish line sooner, then take a break for a little while. As for whether this means no vacation at all, that's up to the employee, I would think. They can engage in full-scale workaholism or they can set aside a little time for themselves. I think it's an awesome idea on all fronts.  View

I've interviewed Rosemary O'Neill. Social Strata is not a start-up company. They implemented this policy after their 10 year anniversary. Their PTO policy is a reflection of their culture and how they interact with their customers. As more employers mover to a results-oriented work environment, you will see more of this type of poicy.  View

Seems to be an age old but always valid concern... but is media industry today really in the practical environment to do so?  View

Haha, so much for that "unbreakable" cell phone. The interviewee on the Guardian makes a great point; eco-friendly products still clutter the Earth and harm the environment.  View

I think the point about green not always being the best for the environment is really interesting. You may think when you go to buy a new item that is suppose to be more environmentally friendly you are helping, which is true, but not when you have to throw away something that the item is replacing. Overall, the lack of new concepts seems disappointing.  View

I can see why China and India may be upset. Developed nations had their chance to exploit resources and destroy the environment in the name of development. Now no one else well get that chance to do so.  View

My roommate is a crazy greenie-- she even buys organic make-up that smells disgusting! I continually point out to her that even if companies list ingredients on the product labels (not that she reads them), production and transportation methods may be more hazardous to the environment and health than the regular stuff. I understand that we are trying to move towards a more eco-friendly way of living, but shouldn't there be more transparency and certification of such products?  View
