Surprised Cringely hasn't weighed in yet, but this is consistent with his last message. Meanwhile, IBM has been busy wrapping Cloud Foundry and calling it Bluemix, but you don't hear about Bluemix adoption too prominently when evaluating *aas offerings.

Changing the “rules” for severance just beforehand is about the slimiest thing they could do. It’s these small acts of disdain for the common worker that should really determine which companies are worth your time.
