Life at Google - The Microsoftie Perspective « Just Say “No” To Google
The comments are freaky. MS folks piling on this person which seems kind of stupid, because this reads like a love letter to life at Microsoft if I ever read one. I’d like to see this person follow up with a second interview [...]
So our tivo decided to stop recognizing our wireless network AGAIN, so I did the stuff I’ve done before to fix it up, unplug the wireless adapter, reboot the tivo, restart the network, change the wireless setting, then finally voila, it connected and then rebooted TWICE!

Megahomes multiplying, but how big is too big?
