Life inside google

A pictorial view at google.

I guess with a $1.5M revenue per employee you can afford to be that lavish.

Out of Stealth

Well the startup that I've joined has come out the stealth-mode and announced whats its all about.

We want to be the source for product reviews. Its free and super easy for merchants to add product reviews to their sites without needing the big budgets of say amazon.

Please take a look.

It doesn't offend me

Not sure why I find this interesting, but someone has put up pictures of what the've eaten at google. Looks yummy.
Interesting article about praise at google.

The Google Praise Scale:

• Unequaled Brilliance
• It’s kind of interesting
• It seems sensible / reasonable
• It will do until we can fix it
• It doesn’t offend me
• It’s not worth talking about
• It’s a waste of time
• Unacceptable Dreck

I generally don't get too excited about things (maybe its a British thing) and if asked for feedback will often say "Not bad". For people that don't really know me, this could be construed as a negative statement, but its really a compliment!.

I think in future, I may adopt the term used in the above article.. "It doesn't offend me" :P

Desktop Manager

Very cool opengl linux desktop manager (with video) called Compiz. Although I'm a fan of the cool effects on MacosX, I think this may get a little annoying after a while.
