        \_ They're trying to become another yahoo?  That seems a little
           dangerous.  Though, approaching the portal market from the
           basis of a good search engine may work quite well..  hmm...
        \_ Seems like a great way to trade warez...
           \_ huh?
        \_ It's step toward allowing for personalized searches.
        \_ ah, another mad rush for usernames.
        \_ they may analyze your email.
           \_ "Smithers ... do you think the radiation from my plant killed
              those ducks?"
              "There is ... no maybe about it, sir."
              "Excellent!"
           \_ Eeeeeevil Republican corporations making money again!!
                How dare they!!
              \_ Except I think Google is pretty liberal and Democrat, as
                 corporations go.  Don't they offer domestic partner benefits?

        \_ Larry Ellison is a secret Tea Party supporter.
           Most of this article is bunk, btw. Boy are the Republicans
           getting desperate.
            \_ Umm, no.  Larry Ellison is a not so secret fascist.

12/18   Happy 25th birthday Perl, and FUCK YOU Larry Wall for fucking up
        the computer science formalism that sets back compilers development
        back for at least a decade:
        http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/18/print-happy-25th-birthday-perl
        \_ I tried to learn Perl but was scared away by it.  Maybe scripting
           lanauages have to be like that in order to work well?

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

Google Inc, the worlds most popular search engine, said on Tuesday it is opening a Swiss research and development centre in its biggest drive yet to recruit European engineers and computer scientists. A dominant force in the Internet search sector, the privately-held Google is facing increasing competition from American rivals Yahoo Inc and Microsoft Corp in the race to enlist the brightest young minds in the industry. In December, Google announced it would open an R&D centre in another technology hub, Bangalore. The Swiss centre, based in Zurich, and the Bangalore site will bring the number of research facilities to five for Google. Our goal is to hire the best computer scientists, said Urs Hoelzle, vice president of engineering operations. Not all of them are in the US and not all of them are able to come to the US. Were talking dozens after a year, certainly not hundreds, the Swiss-born Hoelzle said. The company has never disclosed its R&D budget, nor the number of employees it has outside the US. In the past two years, the company has expanded rapidly overseas, particularly in Europe where it has offices in most major European cities. With more than half of its users outside the United States, the company is paying particular attention on expanding its international operations. Google is thought to be finalising its plans for a long-awaited initial public offering this year, a flotation that some banking executives expect could raise $4 billion. As in the past, the company on Tuesday refused to comment on IPO speculation. Developed by Russian-born Sergey Brin and American Larry Page, the Silicon Valley-based Google was incubated on the campus of Stanford University in 1998.
