Search. How does it work?

Try searching for ke sometime. You might be surprised at the results. It's all about character tokenization.
You might think you're clever by using punctuation in proper terms, but in reality they get treated like spaces. In this case ke-dollarsign-ha is really indexed as two terms ke ha. And you can put as many dollar signs, slashes or other characters in your query, they're just tokens to be ignored.
So for all the Korean Ke's out there here's a version of SNSDs Run Devil Run performed by the top search result for ke.
ugh, if there was ever a reason to deref URL shorteners

Pretty cool, a new way to access many of Google's APIs, though not Maps at the moment. In particular, Google+, Freebase, Contacts, Latitude, and a host of other APIs. And it'll handle the authentication for you.

Did you know they used to release all of the balloons after the parade was over? They quit doing that, because they almost crashed a plane.

ugh.. protip for protesters @google-- have data to back up your claims.
Right now there's a grim reaper effigy and carpenter union folks handing out flyers. Flyer is hyperbolic to the extreme and doesn't have any real data other than that a specific contractor used by google pays below the prevailing union wage. The only action requested is to email REWS.
So I ask the person there: does this apply to projects at Google or is this just a problem with this contractor in general? How many companies employ this contractor? How many people are being paid below wage? What other actions have you taken, if any?
No effing clue on any of those questions nor any passion.
I never thought I'd say it, but it made me nostalgic for eng-misc.

Unofficial Google phone support today:
* GTV Music app (won't play an album, only plays first song.)
* Picasa Multiple account + dasher fun (uploads going to wrong account, looks broken because both accounts have same name/profile photo) Figured it out by comparing obfuscated gaia IDs..
Lots of "Open Link in Incognito Window" required, sadly :(

You'll find all sorts of interesting remixes scrolling by. There's enough content that you can't even listen to it all, so you can pick out the most interesting stuff.
(And feel free to substitute some suitable generic term if you're not really into DJs and electronic/pop music.)

Check out Fedora 16 if you're into Linux distros. I just finished upgrading the home server last night and it's running smooth. (even if systemctl reminds me way too much of solaris SMF)
Fun fact: I've been upgrading the same system image since Red Hat 6.0. No reinstalls.. and since I never had a CD/dvd all upgrades were via rpm/yum.
How is gmemcached related to the open source version?

I'm skeptical that we can support generic players for all these partners unless we don't give them a way to surface the amazon/itunes links that fund 'em.
