7 Things to Look Past When Managing Generation Y

Managing Generation Y isnt all that different from managing anyone else. You need to demand a lot, manage a lot and respect the fact that they have a life outside of work. That being said, there are some things that Gen Y employees believe that past generations may not have thought at the same age.

The truth is, the managers should be long gone by the time things get a little crazy. And if theyre not, they should be getting a little crazy too. The worst thing I ever did at a happy hour (well, 2 hours after it officially ended) was…

Top Eight Movie Sociopaths

From Joe Pesci to Hannibal the Cannibal, why do we love nutters in films, so much?

Why do we like Al Pacino's portrayal of the Cuban sociopath Tony Montana so much? It's because he basically could not give a fuck about anyone or anything. Of course, polite society demands these people get their comeuppance, which…

‘Wall-E’ and ‘Wanted’ Battle for Box Office Top Spot

Everyone kind of surrendered first place to ‘Wall-E’ this weekend in the box office race. Everyone, that is, except for ‘Wanted,’ which proved to not only be quite a test for the Pixar flick but it also made roughly 60% more than analysts thought it would.

Some people have predicted that, based solely on advance ticket sales, The Dark Knight will beat Spider-Man 3's all-time opening weekend record. I don't know if I accept that, though. Advance sales are completely geek-driven,…

Guillermo del Toro Proud of His Sloppy Appearance

The ‘Hellboy’ director says he’s just fine looking a lot like Milton from ‘Office Space,’ thank you very much, and he’d like Hollywood to stop cramming ideas of beauty down our throat. We’ve also got a different kind of beauty for you: The brand new trailer for ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army.’

Disney’s WALL-E wows box office

“WALL-E,” bolstered by near-unanimous critical praise, sold an estimated $62.5 million of tickets in its first three days, said Pixar’s Walt Disney Co parent.

Her previous record for a live-action movie was 2005's “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” which opened to $50 million. The General Electric Co-owned studio said “Wanted” ranks as the third-highest opening for an…

You don’t still use a screen saver, do you? : Yahoo! Green

In this day and age electronics there's no reason to use a screen saver to prevent burn-in. It's just a waste of electricity and creates additional C02

It warmed my heart to read at Green Daily that Telstra, the biggest phone company in Australia, has removed all the corporate screen savers from the 36,000 computers in its offices. What will happen? The change will cut tons of CO2, which they…
