>>Microchip...The restrictions are not that surprising given the competing 32 bit processors and DSPs in SynthTech's recent digital designs.<<
Surprising or not, it just seems completely unreasonable and I don't see how a company has the nerve to think they can tell an employee what they can or can't do when off the clock. Imagine working for the Ford auto company and them telling you that unless you own a Ford then you can't talk about cars on the internet with other people.

>>California just had to pass a law forbidding employers from demanding the passwords for employee's Facebook accounts!<<
I've heard about this kind of thing. It seems awfully presumptuous of them to assume that everybody has a Facebook account or that potential employees wouldn't just tell them that they don't have one. Of course you could just tell them you're on Google+ and when they go to look they'll find it virtually empty with no activity, assuming Google+ will still be around in the future.
