<div>I just wanted to spread the news of a site I'm a part of that I'm hoping will bring more people together from Apple. If you want to keep in touch with old Apple pals, hit up afterapple.com and join in. Join your division, and those you knew people in, and invite everyone you know to join in. It has the potential to be something big. :)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/c88d4108-8183-4a9d-9459-86b73e635c50">Apple alumni</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>OK to forward. <br/>Principals only, no 3rd party recruiters, please. <br/> <br/>The Steam Engineering Team at Valve Software, creator of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, is hiring programmers to help expand our industry-leading online gaming platform, one of the biggest online services in the world. <br/> <br/>Steam gained an early head start in the online gaming world. We’re now working to aggressively extend our lead. Here’s a partial list of what we’re actively working on: <br/> <br/>- Our geographically distributed content delivery system already makes us one of the largest consumers of net bandwidth in the world, and we plan on aggressively increasing the size of our user base and the number of products we distribute. We’re working on a number of technologies for managing all that content, including peer to peer distribution and streaming content. <br/> <br/>- Steam already includes a rich set of community features, including in-game instant messaging. We’re actively expanding our community offerings, and working to integrate them much more tightly into our games. <br/> <br/>- We provide a sophisticated system for detecting and preventing cheating in our online games. <br/> <br/>- We’re exploring a variety of new business and publishing models, including non-traditional purchase models and a comprehensive range of payment options. <br/> <br/>- We have a huge, very active user base, with millions of unique users per month, and hundreds of thousands of active concurrent users at all times. Obviously, we spend a lot of time working on very large, very high performance database and networking systems. <br/> <br/>Job requirements: <br/> <br/>At Valve, we believe that smart programmers can do anything. If you're a good enough programmer, we don't care what specific knowledge you have: we're confident that you can learn what you need to succeed here. By the same token, if you're a mediocre programmer, it doesn't matter how much you know: Valve isn't the right place for you. Everyone at Valve is at the top of their field; you should be also. <br/> <br/>Your accomplishments should be appropriate for your industry experience. This means that if you're a new college graduate, you should have written some impressive applications in your spare time. If you've been in the industry for ten years, you should have played a key role in the development of one of the top products in your market. <br/> <br/>We use C++ here. You should have strong experience with C/C++ or a related language. <br/> <br/>Valve has a very flat organizational structure, with very little formal management. To succeed here, you should be able to work independently. <br/> <br/>Although none of the above are required, they are bonuses: <br/> <br/>- Being an avid gamer. Although this isn't a game development position, Valve is first and foremost a gaming company, and gaming is an important part of our culture. <br/> <br/>- Experience with networked code, including peer to peer networking, instant messaging, and online gaming. <br/> <br/>- Experience with writing large distributed server-side applications. <br/> <br/>About Valve: <br/> <br/>Founded in 1996, Valve is widely recognized as a leader within the gaming industry. Its two flagship releases Half-Life and Half-Life 2 have both received numerous Game Of The Year awards, and have been best-sellers. Valve enjoys an almost-unique level of financial autonomy which allows us to take risks and develop new technologies that are beyond the reach of all but a few game companies. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/c88d4108-8183-4a9d-9459-86b73e635c50">Apple alumni</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Yeah, its the end of an era folks. I will sadly watch it wind down...after all the hard effort, stress, and just plain amazement at accomplishing the PPC port and emulation of the MacOS. To those of you who experienced that project now more than a decade old, I salute you and all that it meant, both to us, Apple, and the industry. Without it, the CPU wars would likely not have heated up like they did throughout the past decade...at least not as aggressively as it played out anyways.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/c88d4108-8183-4a9d-9459-86b73e635c50">Apple alumni</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hello Apple alumni, <br/> <br/>I was an editor at Apple (in AppleCare) from 1999 until 2001 and laid off at the beginning of their slump. I've always wanted to go back, and now there's a job posted that I'd would love a shot at because I match the job description to a T. <br/> <br/>I've applied for other jobs through Apple's employment site, but without so much as a nibble from HR, even for jobs I was qualified and over-qualified for. This time i would really like to try an inside track (which was how I got the interview for my first job there), but all my Apple contacts have left or been laid off or fallen off the face of the planet. <br/> <br/>So the point of all this is: Is anyone out there still connected to the company enough to assist me with getting an inside contact for this position? I'd be a very, very grateful camper if anyone could help me out. <br/> <br/>Thanks everyone! <br/>Clary</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/c88d4108-8183-4a9d-9459-86b73e635c50">Apple alumni</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hello folks, <br/> <br/>I'm a university graduate who has always had a fascination with Apple, and a desire to work for the company in Northern California. <br/> <br/>Can you Apple alumnus share your experiences of work at the company? What did you do at Apple? Which location did you work out of? And if you worked for Apple in California, what was it like living in California? <br/> <br/>From what friends tell me, living in California is very hard in terms of finding an affordable place to live, finding a commute within a reasonable amount of time, and having enough spare time to enjoy what there is in California. As someone who would ultimately like to work and live there (Canadian citizen living in Vancouver BC, currently) I'm definitely curious in all stories about the company and your experiences there, and in California. <br/> <br/>Cheers, <br/> <br/>Graham Fair</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/c88d4108-8183-4a9d-9459-86b73e635c50">Apple alumni</a> - 7 replies </div>
