In other news from the unemployment line, Microsoft says it will cut 5,000 jobs over the next 18 months (Next Web has Steve Ballmer's letter). One of those 5,000 people happens to be a friend of mine. He just got the news.
I don't know about your e-mail, but my inbox is becoming a nest for messages like his.

Hello everyone:
Microsoft has just laid off 1400 full-time employees today, plus a huge number of freelance workers like myself.

No job too small! All referrals cheerfully considered!
Anybody want to buy an apple?
