It’s been a while since our last BINC TV episode, I think two weeks exactly.  Boris was away at The Pinnacle Conference in Florida and the next week Grant was off in the hills hunting poor little piggies.  So this week we decided to ease ourselves back into things by going over hot topics in the news which affect the Technology Industry.
Below are the links to the topics we discuss so you can read up more on them.

LinkedIn to Start Layoffs Today -- Valleywag -- Article talks about LinkedIn’s recent 10% layoffs and the rumor these layoffs were caused by VC Firm Sequoia Capitol telling all their companies to get rid of 10% or their employee base.

Science, Technology and Innovation for a New Generation -- Change.gov -- President Elect Barack Obama has already started to integrate some of his technology views into the government by creating this website.  “Throughout the Presidential Transition Project, this website will be your source for the latest news, events, and announcements so that you can follow the setting up of the Obama Administration. And just as this historic campaign was, from the beginning, about you — the transition process will offer you opportunities to participate in redefining our government.”

Web 2.0 Summit: Jerry Yang says “It’s been a pretty amazing year” -- VentureBeat -- From plummeting stocks, mass layoffs, exiting executives, botched Microsoft buyout, and fallout of a Google deal, it sure has been an amazing year for Yahoo! -- An amazing year of failure -- oh but I guess that comment referred to life outside Yahoo.  John Battelle interviews Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco about exactly what has been going on with Yahoo.
