It may be more legitimate than you think. Google is one of the few companies I've interviewed at that isn't scared of my startup bug. They've been able to attract people who are otherwise entrepreneurs and keep them there (as, I suppose, intrapreneurs).

  They probably aren't scared because they know whatever you come up with, they own if they so please.

    I think it's illegal, in California, to claim ownership of something if you worked on it on your own, with your equipment, in your free time.

      Cali, always ahead of the game. If I stuck to what I knew early in life, I'd be there. You are very lucky EDIT and smart.

        Heck, I flew in from the east coast of Canada with only $800 in the bank. If I can do it, you can too.

        I certainly will ;). Great weather for outdoor hacking, friendly people, what's not to like? Almost anywhere beats NJ.
