Google's office in Irvine, CA on Google Maps is more than a mile from its actual location.
The office specifically tells its visitors to disregard Google Maps directions when they want to visit it.
Ask any Vietnamese what they mean when they say "Saigon", and I can tell you that they'll tell you they mean the city now renamed to HCMC. The pedantic meaning of Saigon is only used by bureaucrats.
Considering that this government already attacked critical websites using a DDOS attack, it's not out of the question for them to attempt something like Green Dam.
Hanoi may be the capital but it's not the most populous city, not even by a long shot. It recently gobbled up a nearby province but it's still smaller than Saigon, now officially Ho Chi Minh City.
I recently replaced FileVault on my MacBook Pro with PGP Whole Disk Encryption, and the results have been nothing but headache. Now when I close the lid, the laptop doesn't go into hibernate mode, and the laptop doesn't recognize my iPod when I plugged it in.
If that's the case, how does this make Google worse than any of the other search engines out there? How many search engines you know tells you up front what it knows about you and allows you to edit it?
During my orientation week in Mountain View, there was a joke about some hardware being stolen from campus. The punchline? "If there's one thing that Google's good at, it's searching."
The Nexus One does not require a data plan, or even a voice plan. You can activate it over Wifi. I've used it for almost a month now with my T-Mobile prepaid account. I don't have a data plan at all. I pay $100 for 1000 minutes that I can use for a year. When I try to go online when I'm not connected via Wi-Fi, I get redirected to T-mobile's T-zones site, which allows you to surf certain pages for free (the news, and for some reason, Yahoo's mobile site m.yahoo.com). I have verified that these usages did not change the number of minutes I have left.
Which version of Android were you using? I can see the "Family Name" field in editing contacts and the "Bluetooth" option on mine. Perhaps these are new features in 2.1.
OK, I'll bite.
In Android, you can edit your contacts by selecting "Contacts" from the home screen, then choose the contact you want to edit and holding down your finger. A context menu appears, select "Edit contact". Alternately, you can open your contact's info and then press the "Menu" button, then select "Edit contact".
To send a photo to your PC, you open "Gallery". Your photos will be displayed. Select the one you one to send, then choose "Share". Select "Bluetooth".
I first learned BASIC on my own through reading "Programming for Kids" books. But those books really didn't teach me anything about programming, just how to copy code from the book to make computer games and other cool things.
The first programming language I formally learned was Scheme in my college introduction to programming class. Our textbook was How to Design Programs and we ran our programs with DrScheme. As Scheme is an interpreted language, we didn't have to worry about compiling our code or creating classes. Since Scheme is a functional language, we had to think about how to define functions and how to call them. Essential programming concepts such as recursion and looping come to life in Scheme, and we had our first taste of various data structures (linked lists) and object-oriented programming.
The next quarter, we moved onto Java. I think those of us who took Scheme first before moving to Java did much better than those who began with C++ or with Java.
Like most European countries, citizenship in Finland is by blood, not by land. That means that even if you're born in Finland to non-Finnish parents, you do not have suffrage. The naturalization process in the Old World is also much harder than in the New World.

At the same time I am aware they [...] will play ball with the American government by folding faster than superman on laundry day.
Based on their past behavior I'd say you are wrong.

Which format did you send it in? It all gets converted to text internally anyways.
Google announced no such thing. It's a news story from the Financial Times that Google neither confirmed nor denied.
FYI, Flash support won't be built into Froyo. You download the Flash plug-in from the Marketplace as you would any other app.
Because this is what happens to people who "leak" "state secrets".
The last time they sent over warships to "pick up people", the US was so pissed off we went to war with them.
Yeah, those iPad ads are confusing to a lot of people.

Google is the only search engine with the balls to refuse a government subpoena to turn over its search records. Not Microsoft, not Yahoo!, not AOL.

This should be modded insightful, not funny.
Not all Google employees are engineers. About half of the employees use Goobuntu. The rest use Windows and Macs.
You can check to see who've logged into your Gmail account by checking the last account activity link at the bottom of your Gmail screen.
Also, you can actually use the Nexus One as a VoIP phone using a combination of Google Voice, Gizmo5, and Sipdroid.

About 1.5 million of the 7 million people living in Switzerland are not Swiss citizens. Switzerland has some of the toughest citizenship rules in the world.
