As much as possible I try to post about job openings that I think Nerds would be interested in, certain many Nerds would like to work at Ars.

Full information at Ars link above, sounds like these are new positions (Ars is expanding their staff) based on response to comments.

Computer Security: "The Rules Of Computing"

An excellent article, titled "The Rules of Computing" from a Computer Security blog I follow, it is Mac focused, but the information, aside from Mac specific software, applies to all computers, including Smart Phones!

A lot of people don't realize that smart phones are computers, with additional vulnerabilities added, and that it takes a certainly baseline skillset to operate them without undue security risks.

Especially with the Android platform, since it is less tied down, and far more open, much like computers. 

I wonder if there may be a real job opportunity for Nerds to get into Android Security?

Stay Safe,

Both of those Labels, and many more, can be found in the Label Cloud at left side of this blog.

Only some Labels are there, because of space limitations, but at the bottom left of every post are Label(s), so you can cross reference that way.

Esports Future: "The People Who Manage Professional Athletes’ Moves"

This article from the Business Insider made me wonder if Esports already has some professional Athlete Relocators?  People that help Pros move from one location to another.

I know a few Pros in Starcraft 2 have moved from one country to another already, and as Esports grow, there will be more of that as time goes on.

I think the translators in Korea end up helping foregners that move to Korea currently.

I am not sure if there is a specific person that helps Koreans that move to the EU or USA?  I would suspect again that translators would end up doing a lot of the work.

Just a suggestion to people looking to work in Esports, SC2 in particular, that being fluent in Korean or another foreign language might be more useful than Gosu gaming skills.  If only because you would probably have far less competition.

Nerd News: Stephen Hawking is hiring.

[Edited to Add:  Link for more information on his electronic/computer system http://www.hawking.org.uk/index.php/disability/thecomputer ]

Full  information at http://www.hawking.org.uk/index.php/component/content/article/96

Short version, he is looking for someone that can handle maintenance on his electronics, in addition to Travel arrangements and more.

Something like a personal assistant, plus assistance in areas that he needs help because of his disabilities, and technical skill for maintaining his electronic voice system in the field.

" The salary is expected to be in the region of £25k; the exact value will be confirmed in the near future."

Being able to spend time with Stephen Hawking is something many people, including myself, would pay for, not to mention you never know when he will do another cameo in a Sci Fi or other TV show or movie.

If I had the skills for this position I would be applying!
