Does Google even hire people who care any more? Does it only hire people who interview really well? From what I've gathered, most people who get through the HR disaster there these days (old times are exempt; decentralizing hiring is the first sign of impending disaster) really aren't that smart; maybe they've merely perfected a sort of slimy smooth-talking (literally speaking), typical of most salesmen. As much as I want to still love Google, it's getting harder every day. Even my original suggestion regarding pixel space amounts on the search results page template seems to have been implemented recently: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=498660 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=498660. Yeah, I'm a wee bit irked; I think I deserved a bit more than the lie-wielding form rejection email from my application somewhere back in early 2005 or so. And don't even get me started on the fact that Google went and doubled the limit of receiving pay on my AdSense account sometime last year; so I've still not even seen anything from that. So as much as I still want to love Google, it is getting harder every day. Your comment regarding "Nooglers" is actually pretty funny considering how many of them, like me, have probably been really diligent in their quest to get hired just about anywhere.
