wow. I am surprised by aapl, they have 25 billions in cash~ thanks for the list!
Dell has billions in cash too; they get that way from not spending...

Crazy times to be looking for work knock on wood

I just got back from a Google recruiting session where the guy announced that there was not a hiring freeze nor was there a plan to have a hiring freeze.
Google does not have a hiring freeze.
Two months ago, I heard that VMware had a hiring freeze on. I don't know what the situation is now.
pretty much all of them
