I'm not surprised at all. Back in 2006 when I was doing competitive strategy at MS and studying Google's culture, I came away very impressed with how much people throughout the organization cared about not being evil. But the dynamics you

Tim's analysis in Forbes _is_ the source of the misleading "480%" statistic -- and the Forbes headline trumpeted the equally-misleading 60% statistic. So, while I think that Forbes' blogs are frequently quite insightful, this wasn't one of

Well, it's not _just_ a social science. There's still plenty of interesting work to do with 1's and 0's and proofs. But even in "hard CS" areas like programming languages, the social since aspects are pretty significant. What influences
