I wish tools like this would account for equity. Base salary in the Bay area has never been particularly high compared to comparable cities, but in my admittedly anecdotal experience, The Bay Area has the highest equity compensation of anyw

Oh wow it's increasing fast. When I started Soft Eng in 2008 it was like $5000. At graduation it was $6500. This is nuts.

Actually chat heads works on stock Android! Not sure the exact wizardry that went into implementing it, but it's very impressive to use.

If you don't want friends of friends seeing stuff, why don't you just set your privacy to friend's only?

I'd like to clarify one thing. The "native" Android app that was tested, isn't actually native. Native newsfeed shipped in Facebook for Android 2.0, but 1.9.2 was used in the comparison. Thus, the comparison was between two html5 implementa

APMs are definitely a clique while they work for Google, but after they leave they are just a network of friends and contacts. I think this article is overplaying their loyalty to Marissa. Nobody I've ever met thought Yahoo would be a goo

Thanks for the feedback! Both of your grievances are legitimate issues. The reason why we didn't support those use cases on iPad is because they are power user features. Pro tip: If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can view the d

If you have a moment, I'd love to know what you dislike about Google Images for iPad. I worked on the product when I was an intern at Google. I'm sorry it's causing you frustration :(

This is correct. However, the Android team made their decision with the assumption that Android would power keyboard and trackball devices. That was never the case, so they made the wrong decision based on a faulty premise.

I remember going into your office during an open house late last year and then laughing way to much at your company's name. Made things a bit awkward, but the table tennis was fun! For what it's worth GazeHawk has a great location in downt

Oh Derek, always bragging about your internships at Facebook. Anyway, I think Google is still hiring summer interns. There are always a few stragglers.

Yeah I agree about Google making you feel like crap. Another thing, they don't pay for the relocation flight or provide corporate housing, so before my first internship with Google I was pretty bummed out by the whole process, but after ac

Unfortunately, this has happened to many friends of mine. I much prefer the way Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Zynga do their recruiting. However, if Google actually does accept you, it's a steller experience.

Soft engs are generally better. Velocity is full of them. The one problem with Soft Engs is that their work load is generally higher than CS students, so less time to work on startups. Full disclosure: I'm in Soft Eng :)
