I am a regular IOS5 Google Maps transit directions user in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Google Maps transit is far superior here to HopStop, which seems to think we have a subway. Looking forward to testing this new app, so I can upgrade to IOS6.

I don't see it as a smear in the slightest. I see it as remembering him for what he stood by and for. My reading of his interviews suggests that he wouldn't have disagreed with my comments, he just would have thought there wasn't anything w

Unfortunately it doesn't look like the internal elements of the date picker in the calendar respect my browser text-size settings. Along with the other styling comments here, I hope that we keep accessibility in mind and allow the user to c

You should consider bringing your talents to a mission based non-profit. In many non-profits, half time employees are more common, and the pay will absolutely be less. You might also just find the work that much more meaningful.

This concept of Bootlegging[1], isn't "Google's" and dates back to the late 1960s. I always think of Post-it notes as the pre-digital poster child for this sort of internal, yet personal, innovation. [1] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot

Why aren't there more data centers in the solid craton part of the content far from these inevitable coastal problems? Genuinely curious as to why Minnesota or something is the datacenter capital of the US.
