But first, bless the kind folks at Google for working on the world's biggest library online - yes, the The Library of Google is becoming a reality. Yippee! Now information can be free! No, that's not the Stanford Library, but it is a chapel on campus. It shall do in lieu of the real photo.
On the opposite spectrum of the software company vibe thing, I wonder what it’s like to be an employee at Microsoft knowing that much (many?) of the industrialized world’s workers absolutely hate your product, and only use it because using anything else isn’t possible for most offices.

I know, I know - I can already hear your responses... I'm working on that model as we speak...
