A former PayPal executive recently pointed out that PayPal, as a division of eBay, has swelled to 7,000 employees — vastly more than it ever had as an independent concern. “What do those people do?” he asked. The growth in headcount had not led to a concomitant increase in inventiveness. Take, for example, the news, breathlessly reported by TechCrunch, that PayPal would roll out a “virtual credit card” for shopping even at stores that don’t take PayPal. This would be more impressive had PayPal not rolled out the same product six years ago.

Extensive testing by members of the Exo.performance.network has found the forthcoming Service Pack 1 upgrade to Windows Vista to be no faster than the first relase. IT departments worldwide had hoped that by postponing their upgrade from Windows XP to Vista until SP1 was released, they’d get a performance boost to brag about. Instead, aspiring Vista users will bite the bullet and buy new computers. Not to get all MacWeenie on you, but my 2003 12″ PowerBook has gotten faster with every new version of Apple’s OS X.
