$128k at Google really means at least $200k. Base salary is not the whole story. Once you include bonuses, Stock awards, and all the free food and other amenities (ISP costs, gyms, transportation), you can expect to make about double your base salary. A lot of compensation is based on performance. And if you have to work more than 40-50 hours a week, it will hurt your performance score, because it means you have to work extra hard to do a normal amount of work. Unless, of course, your project is in some sort of crunch mode.
PhD don't matter that much at Google. I have a BS in Math and a 2.2 GPA and I make much more than $128k working at Google. During the interview process, they don't even ask about degrees or GPA unless you are fresh out of school and they have nothing else to go by.
That is one of their related patents, but not the on on trial. The '915 one they used at the trial was something like: 1) If there is only one finger, then scroll screen. 2) The there are two fingers, then zoom.
Though is isn't really about pinch/zoom, it seems impossible to work around. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Did they stop the quest for people with PHD's or abnormally high grades? I hadn't heard that.
They don't care about your grades, unless you are fresh out of college and have nothing on your resume, and no special projects.
They don't care about what degree you have, unless you did something special in the process of getting your degree.
Maybe it was different in the old days, but there are plenty of old timers at Google with no special degrees. Some don't even have undergraduate degrees. I myself had a 2.2 GPA. They never even asked for it.
I think the degree/GPA thing was just an excuse people used when they didn't get an offer.
It's been a while since Google hired on merit rather than "fit".
With 2,000,000 resumes coming in a year, they hire on merit as well as fit. In fact, the people who interview you really don't care what's on your resume. It's all based on what happens in the interview room. And yes, that involves communication skills and cultural fit, but no one ever got hired on those things alone.
I thought that the limit of (S/N) as N approaches 0 goes to infinity, but N/0 itself is undefined (Infinity is not in the set itself. It is a cardinality.). At least, that's what I remember from my graduate class in Rings, Groups, and Modules. But that was a long time ago.
No, they don't listen to *you*. They do listen to the general public which makes up 99.44% of their user base.
For instance, *you* probably think Google Search should just be the world's most expensive grep, while the other 99.44% want it to figure out what they mean, without them having to spell out every little keyword.
Only valid requests are considered, which means that they have to go through the entire takedown process and result in material actually being removed.
No. Google is going to tweak the rankings based on how many "valid" notices it receives. The requests must go through the *entire* DCMA process before they are considered as signals for page ranking.
The real costs are for Discovery. Now you are talking about tens of millions. A huge amount of effort goes into producing information for the other side. It is used as an attack tool to consume the resources of the opponent.
Because it is not a valid patent. It is not a novel idea and it's implementation is obvious to any programmer. It was just basically a landgrab by Apple, and that's not a valid reason to grant a patent.
Apple filed the patent in 2000. I'm guessing it had something to do with Spotlight.
Google Desktop Search came out in 2005, I think. Just before the Apple patent was finally approved.
It's still a bogus patent. It's even short enough to be readable, despite the legalese. It basically says, you enter a query into a box, and the "machine" looks in several different places for the answer.

Yeah, you got me there. I missed the 's' key. Good for you.
So, you did that with the knowledge that base salary is only about half of your total compensation at Google, right?

Most of the people I know at Google work about 40-50 hours a week and spend lots of time with their family.

Can you tell us that patent number?
I had no idea that phones produce "GPS signals". Fascinating.

Your content is not orphaned. Just use Google Takeout to download your data, then import it into your new account.

Actually, a ton of people use it. It's just that everything is private by default, so it can look empty to a newcomer.
I think a lot of people are coming over from Facebook, because I see more and more stupid shit every day.

Google/Motorola Mobility is asking the same rate of Apple that they ask of everyone else.
Only valid, verified notices that result in material being removed will count in the page rankings.
The only notices that are used in the page rankings are the notices that complete the entire process and result in material actually being removed.
Google's tool bar only does this for Google searches, not for searches performed by other companies.
Only valid requests are considered, which means that they have to go through the entire takedown process and result in material actually being removed.

You are quoting a killer who wanted to overthrow the government?

There isn't really an algorithm in the patent. Just a description of the idea.
And this is not something that is non-obvious to a normal practitioner of the art.
