The top half of the results page will be ads if you searched for something so generic that there essentially are no good organic results. Certainly if you search for something specific, it won't be like that. For instance, I recently w

Google lunch interviewers are instructed to give no feedback whatsoever, and in fact the internal tools provide no opportunity. The only exception is if they do something terrible, like punch somebody (it has happened!) or say something rea

Go is hosted publicly (on googlecode) and adwords is supersecret or some nonsense and non adwords Googlers can't see it. But gmail and maps...well, they share a lot of code! For instance, they both run on web servers.

I think one big cause of that is that in the early days, ios was just plain better than android. Everything worked better, looked nicer, etc. I don't believe that's true anymore, so we might see some shifts.

Google's mission is to make the world's information universally accessible. If rapgenius contains information that other sites do not, and people want that information, it is Google's mission to bring those people to rapgeniu

With respect, at first glance it seems that way. The burden of proof lies with the claim to security, not the claim of insecurity.

As I mentioned in another post, the map-reduce concept that has been around for quite some time is not the same as the MapReduce process that Google has instrumented. Google has a way to run it super-efficiently on data centers, with distri

There is map-reduce the algorithm, and then there is map-reduce the distributed computing mechanism. Unfortunately they share a name, but Google engineers definitely did invent the map-reduce being referred to here.

I guess one difference is that you are relying on the assumption that Google is a bad actor. Google's actions have not shown that, and the benefit of the doubt is an important ideal.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The difference is that Google, Facebook, et al are opt-in. The NSA offers you no such choice.

How exactly is it ironic? Google, Facebook, et al, collect data in exchange for a service. You can use incognito mode for Google, or just not use Facebook at all. The NSA collects your data whether you want it to or not, and you have no say

This statement is not quite coherent. If there is an exponential memory growth, then there is exponential computing time because memory growth doesn't happen magically.

This position is without merit. People have every right to say that one particular free option is not what they're looking for, and explain why it's not what they're looking for.
