> why does anybody want to work at Google with all the android privacy issues researchers keep uncovering, i feel like Google has really driven a certain fraction of the labor pool which cares about protecting user privacy directly away from itself > they are all incredibly (for want of a better word) hacky. yeah, i haven't seen much of anything to feel inspired by either (although I do think Google Maps team has put out a really solid product). but i have to deal with the Android SDK and other google libraries for android, and "hacky" seems like the best single word description for that stuff, IMHO, too. what makes me laugh about the android documentation is that even though Google's mission is to organize the world's information, the best android documentation and guidance i can find is organized by Stack Overflow.
