It seems that no one is making the distinction between actually having an affair and simply the fantasy of it that most of these members probably engage in. I would guess that of those 40m members only a small handful have ever engaged in a

Disclaimer: I work for Google. These are my opinions and not necessarily Google's. My hiring experience was slower than other companies, but did not seem particularily obtuse. It was maybe a few weeks from my initial interview to an of

The free lunch might only cost the company $5 a day, but if I were to buy my own lunch I would be spending much more than $5 a day. And I would be with post tax money. Before I worked at Google, I would frequently spend $10 - 15 a day in

No, its not that simple. The new company still has to file a petition for H1B, its just not subject to quota like a first time H1B. its not hard but no way is it as simple as being a citizen.

"Clearly has no idea what Google Play is" Oh dear, Techcrunch, you seem to have misunderstood comedy.

Sadly I think you have completely missed the point here. The notion that there is a way to act gay or straight is exactly what is being debated.

You are putting words into my mouth, and attacking me with an ad hominem (outrageous is totally unnecessary there). I never indicated we should all be the same, rather we should all be free to develop our identities without the social const

What is wrong with stereotypes is that they are stereotypes. They are fine as theoretical constructs in an educated debate, but they reek havoc on those who are still developing their sense of identity. Gender stereotypes are the reason kid

Teaching kids to ignore / combat that is just one part of what we need to do. Sadly not all parents are as forward thinking as this, and are quite happy to subconsciously nudge their children into gendered roles. If we combat this at the sy

This article misses two absolutely critical points to the gender neutral debate. 1. Removing (or reducing) fixed gender stereotypes allows individuals to express themselves withut fear that they are different, or that some how their behavio

I think striking a balance is better, or more specifically allowing individuals to find there personal optimum spot. Personally, I love working in a busy open place office with conversations and discussion going on all the time. I thrive on

I don't think this is true... Having never upgraded an unused old iDevice,I'm pretty sure I have still been able to restore from backup without upgrading. But this is really old, so maybe they stopped that in a later firmware update?

This is so true. I hated android based on my experiences early on. Then I tried a Galaxy Nexus on ICS. Almost overnight I dumped my iPhone and switched.

Why should I, as an innocent party to a companies security failings have my personal details revealed. This is exactly why we have laws protecting identity theft and fraud. Naming and shaming the company and the extent of their security fai

H-1B has no requirement that no US citizen can be found with the qualifications. This is a common misconception. In fact, H-1B is fairly trivial if you meet the criteria (degree or equivalent). This "no qualified US citizen" requirement is

This. But, not everyone at Google is a search engineer. Many many engineers at Google work on one of our other products. We should, and probably do, have experts on online retail scale-ability somewhere (disclaimer: i am a search engineer a

I'm even more confused having spent 20 minutes consuming the bizarro content on this site. This appears to be an anti-obama website though he isn't making it directly clear. Sure, we should question our elected officials, and hold them agai

This is bizarre. Why is this aimed so squarely at "Mr President" - The Obama Administration was anti SOPA, whereas the republican senate was behind it. Sure, the reality is probably more subtle than this, but if you must pick a single entit

The 'additional security features' seems unworkable. The premise is that pure .UK have UK point of presence checks, etc, but consumers will not easily be educated that .UK is 'more secure' than .co.uk

But how does the company recruiting you know that you are actually doing the work, and not having someone else do it. The purpose of data structures and algorithms questions is to demonstrate some abstract thinking and coding ability in a s

I saw something similar to this once, I think it was on eventbrite. I entered my @google.com work address for an event, and it asked me "are you sure this is your email address" presumably because people sometimes confuse gmail.com and goog

You don't wear a bespoke suit to fit the minimal requirements for a given occasion, you do it because of the way it makes you feel - there is nothing quite like wearing an item of clothing that is perfect in every possible way. It's really
