Hello all,
We are looking for an additional editor and just realized that this job is the perfect one for a retired MAIT or investigator. You get to play with the latest computer gagdets, benchmark/rip apart products and write articles. If the product blows, you can tear it apart, provided you back yourself up with facts. (sorta like getting hammered by a defense attorney)
We are in Westlake Village now, but will be moving the offices to the West LA area in the coming months. Website is www.tomshardware.com.
Lemme know if you have any questions.... it's so hard to find good people these days. On our last hiring round, I helped interview several people and wondered what the hell happened to our education system... but that's another story altogether.
The listing is on craigslist now, but I've copied and pasted it here.
Oh some of the stuff we are playing with now.. just to give you an idea
Quad SLI computers (thats four graphics cards in one computer)
One GB flash drive in a credit card
Eight GB drive that clips onto your belt
20-pound 19-inch screen laptop
