Depends where you go to school. At many private schools, parents simply pay all the kids' living expenses. Sure, some people work, but I would say more than half simply have money deposited in their checking account by family. I know man

It may also help to look at it as: stagnating Google employee #20, passed over for promotion, spites Google by taking job at a competitor.

I used to watch the History Channel all the time. I'd keep it on throughout the day while I worked, always enjoying war documentaries or historical pieces. Now it's all reality TV and "Who would win in a fight: Navy SEAL vs. Samurai" nons

If you're too proud to be a part of an online community where memes are used then I'm afraid you're going to live quite a lonely existence. Also, since you literally are new here (account less than 3 months old), please check the guidelines

I may be too young to remember correctly, but I think this whole "we need particle physicists to sweep our floors" mentality started with Google. I'm sure it was around before then, but I definitely noticed an increase in that focus after

Agree. They've so far been able to reinterpret religious writings to encompass pretty much any development, regardless of how illogical it sounds. I don't think the discovery of life elsewhere would break this trend.

I never held out much hope for Diaspora. For the most part I only use Facebook to connect with people that are helplessly or willfully ignorant of the issues that led to Diaspora in the first place.

Making/receiving calls in Gmail is the reason I stick with the web client. I don't actually use the chat much, but I'm a huge fan of the simplicity of Google Voice's integration with Gmail.
