As personal health record services such as Google’s Health efforts are more widely deployed, we may also push data directly into personal health repositories at patient request.

Google Climate
If Google’s can come up with a way to make renewable energy cheaper than the fossil-based alternatives, lowering the cost of just about everything, while reducing environmental externalities, then, by God, each and every one of them deserve to become rich

2008-01-25: Google attitude
the cultural difference between the movement and Google: Google has the positive message of the potential for change through technology. The other unspoken divide is about economics: Gore and Friedman favor raising the cost of CO2. Page and Brin see a victory in reducing the price of the clean energy. Tax versus investment.

Google LBS Services
After reading comments and looking at the overall architecture view of the framework, I decided to investigate the android.location API a little more closely. The first item is interesting because it would allow you to conserve battery life and, I assume, toggle between (free) GPS positionning and perhaps (not so free) cell-tower triangulation. The second item is where the interesting stuff can happen. Imagine an application that knows the location of all your friends and the location of their favorite spots along with the permission associated to all those locations. When you are moving around the mobile application on the device could register some intents (by obtaining specific lat/long information from a dedicated server) to alert you of interesting places but also of nearby friends.
Transit stops on Garmin
One of the biggest benefits of transit agencies making their raw schedule data publicly available, as TriMet and others have done, is that riders are free to do interesting things with the information that the agency itself might not have thought of or have taken the time to do themselves. Case in point: Brett Warden in Portland is using TriMet’s GTFS feed to create a POI (points of interest) file for his dashboard-mounted GPS.
nice open geodata example
Stefano on Java IP
The trick is that Google doesn’t claim that Android is a Java platform, although it can run some programs written with the Java language and against some derived version of the Java class library. Sun could prevent this if they had a patent on the standard class library, but they don’t and, even if they did, I strongly doubt it would be enforceable since Android doesn’t claim to be compatible (and in fact, could very well claim that their subset/superset is an innovation on the existing patent and challenge Sun’s position).
sucks to be sun right about now. they should have listened to the ASF.

nsscache
We’re releasing a small python utility, called nsscache, that is used to cache remote NSS maps locally on a given host. Combined with cron, it provides a simple and effective way to remove a critical network dependency from your hosts and potentially speed things up a bit.
a small but crucial piece of our network infrastructure
Google Job Application
27-years old Sebastian L. from Cologne, Germany, wants to work at Google, specifically in Google’s security department. Instead of writing a normal job application, he decided to register tons of Google-related URLs – like adwordsgoogle.de, docsgoogle.de, gdrivegoogle.com, labsgoogle.de and more – and posted his application on it.
below the hiring bar i presume
