Per the article, Yahoo need innovation, not raw productivity. A bunch of Yahoo employees at home coding thousands of tested lines a day aren't going to help the company if it's all the same old crap Yahoo has been putting out for years.

I regret that I have but one up-arrow to click on for this comment. Google does this annually and they get criticized for it every time. Yahoo does it at the behest of their new ex-Googler CEO and now it's a great idea.

If supervising unaccompanied minors is too hard, they're under no requirement to offer the service. They offered the service and then they screwed up delivering it. I don't see why you should be sympathetic.

Also, to be more serious, Pocket PC once ran on top of two processor families, so if you think fragmentation with a VM is bad, it's a lot worse when you have to build two binaries and try to explain to users which one they need to install.

So there's lots of thing to say. Picking one I'd say have some meaningful stories to tell. Not to recite, but the interviewer will probably ask you some "situational" questions where she asks for you to demonstrate dealing with some specifi

Per other commenters, this is basically a hit piece on Google by claiming that Google does something that it doesn't do to promote the author's own company which seeks to improve hiring.

This is great, but I'm not sure if it's actually any less complicated than installing DD-WRT or Tomato.

Who cares how much RAM it has? RAM is dirt cheap. Phones should have 10x that much memory.

On it getting cold at 4 PM, I quote the estimable "30 Rock": "Can’t hack it in the big city? Gonna move to the Bay Area now, pretend that was your dream the whole time? Have fun always carrying a light sweater."

Taxes generate government revenue as a side-effect of their purpose as a social engineering tool, not the other way around. Not sure why people get that backwards so often.

It's still not clear to me at all why the first room is rubberized. There's an escape slide, a rubber room and the actual chamber that's blast-proof. Why does the middle room need to be rubberized?

While Waterloo often does seem to be about 178.72% male, parts of engineering are at parity (chem eng was 50/50 a few years back) and there are entire other faculties with lots of lovely people for you to make friends with.

Waterloo was a MSFT poaching ground when I was an undergrad in 1992... well before RIM was even on the scene. Macleans magazine has consistently ranked it the best engineering school in Canada. They've been winning ACM programming contests
