I would enjoy having a napping pod at work. It would make coming to work with a hangover so much easier. :D

Napping pods? Not for me. I can't imagine feeling that remotely comfortable settling into one of these things in the midst of my colleagues.

Sorry, Nicole.

Oh jeez. "They create elaborate holiday decorations, build cabinets for their homes and sometimes dream big like the engineers working on a pedal-powered airplane with a 100-foot wingspan." HOW SPECIAL. What's worse? This, or the napping pods?

So Page's return coincides with Google opening the door to another employee perk/incentive.

Yep for sure Nicole that is EXACTLY what it was like. And the stories about what went on within the company are even more rediculous/bizzare but he is sue happy so I won't air those here; funny as they are...

Jeez, Chuck, that's absurd, but it doesn't surprise me at all. "I'm not talking to you until you ask questions I like! So THERE. HMPH!" Very professional!

Android is a success, that is true. But it's not a success that's making any moo-la. That's the difference.

Also, after interviewing a couple of Googlers I must stick with the socially inept label. It's like they stare right through you. I don't think they're real humans.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Well now I'm totally confused - does that make me Scooby or Shaggy?

The Academy of Ridiculous Research

10|31|11   |   1:55   |   20 comments


When it comes to Internet-related research, the gap between the real world and academia is widening. Indeed, a few boffins may be up so high in their ivory towers that Earth is invisible. Sadly, some of this research is probably costing the US government – and US citizens – real money.

Facebook's New Friends Lists Make Things Awkward

9|19|11   |   2:07   |   6 comments


Facebook's "Improved Friends Lists" are rolling out, but they're very different from Google+ Circles. The latter are like private labels; you're the only one who sees them. The former are like rooms you can invite visitors to, where they see you and each other. Google's approach is better.

M2M: Rise of the Machines? Not Yet
David Weldon
In the 1970 science fiction thriller
Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
