   This is my prediction as well. GV is heavily invested. Uber + driverless tech could become a truly HUGE company.

   I don't think it is designed for people "looking for work". It seems to be built for business development. For example, an email like: "Hey, we met at a conference last month, just wanted to follow up..." - now you

   I wouldn't think so. The Gmail iPhone app isn't an IMAP email client, it is a proprietary email implementation.

   I suspect they have a yet to be announced product which is targeted to teams working remotely. They are slowly building authority for why and how working remotely works.

   I hate to criticize a clearly awesome effort on MSFT's part but: why are those links not <a> tags? The result being a user is now unable to right click and open the examples in new tabs...

   While I agree that most people probably wouldn't notice. I was personally floored by how many iPhones were pulled out in that small window of time.

    "Javascript needs to be replaced by something sane" really? You should read what the goals are for Dart.

    It is actually all being done client side. I download a video list in json and create a client side document store. I figured searching 1500 items wasn't worth doing a server roundtrip. I then just search youtube for the title of the video

    Very meta. Maybe I will tackle that for my next project.

    I would agree, it is probably confusing initially. It would make sense to follow the heuristics of other instant search sites. However, when I experimented with auto updating the video it just didn't "feel" right. For some reason I think a

    I certainly don't want to hurt the credibility of the Khan Academy. I just thought this would be a fun project.. wouldn't mashups actually be evidence of interest and lend more credibility?

    Thanks for the feedback! Currently, it only "searches" the title of the video and the playlist name. If I had transcripts of the videos (they may exist somewhere?) then it could be WAY more relevant. Some videos show up twice because the sa

    Thanks for the feedback! I'm "threading" the search to not block the browser, maybe typing fast can interfere with correctly restarting the search. I will investigate!
