Hey it’s almost the weekend people!

Taking vacation at Red Frog is encouraged (and even celebrated). And it’s not abused. Ever. By anyone. Simply make sure your work is getting done and make sure you’re covered while you’re away and that’s it—no questions asked.
Give Your Employees Unlimited Vacation Days
Some look at business management techniques like this and think they are pipe dreams or flat out silly. I disagree: I think it’s a shift in our culture and a necessary one. Just as sales commissions train salespeople to focus on the wrong results, so do strict 9-5 environments and time-tracking. Productivity, skill, and value do not relate to minutes, hours, or days. One day I hope to lead an office with unrestricted vacation time, transparent salaries, and proper 15% time.

We Are The 0.6%
Hard to pick the most ridiculous element of these updated numbers.
Is it that just 0.6% of Android users have Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) two months after it launched?
Is it that of the remaining 99.4%, only 55% are upgraded to Gingerbread (2.3), which came out over a year ago?
Is it that over 30% are stuck on Froyo (2.2) which is 20 months old?
Is it that 8.5% (something like 10 million devices) are stuck on Eclair (2.1), which came out two years ago?
Is it that only 3.3% are using Honeycomb (3.0), which means that all those highly-touted tablets last year are clearly huge flops?
I can’t decide. You choose.

Woo Yay new App funz… but wait this is just likes/+1’s filtered by your friends right? So unless your friends are using it you have no point of reference. Sure you can Stamp stuff you think is awesome (like) but what about the new things you don’t own/haven’t been to?
You have no clue what to do, which means you have to sit at home or wander around aimlessly and stare at a blank (albeit well designed) UI ***cough*** Color ***cough** or you could just use the iPhone in your hands and well, call your friends and ask their opinion…
It’ll be interesting to see how this evolves and whether it overtakes Oink which seems to be the same thing but with more features and not quite as refined UI. There was a lot of hype for Oink (and I presume there will be for Stamped) and I’ve seen some usage in my Twitter feed but I’ve yet to be convinced.
