From the page: "any G1 user typing a text message containing the word "reboot" would see their phone resetting is truly stunning, and it reflects badly on the quality control and testing of the Android platform."

Hmmm

this is fun

From the page: "This plugin integrates the Google Ajax Language API to jQuery. You can just call e.g. $('body').translate('en') but provides callbacks for each translated element too. Or you can pass an array to $.translate to get back a translated array. Currently you can only send at most 500 characters with the raw API per request but this plugin calls them consecutively. It also reduces the number of requests by concatenating elements and doesn't send unnecessary html markup still providing access to each element as they've got translated. It provides a similar function and method for language detection too. "

Adwords introduced a Scrum implementation at Google in small steps with remarkable ... all » success. As presented at the Agile 2006 conference this exemplifies a great way to start up Scrum teams. The inventor and Co-Creator of Scrum will use this approach in building the Google Scrum implementation to describe some of the subtle aspects of Scrum along with suggested next steps that can help in distributing and scaling Scrum in a "Googly way".

From the page: "Bigtable is a distributed storage system for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance. These applications place very different demands on Bigtable, both in terms of data size (from URLs to web pages to satellite imagery) and latency requirements (from backend bulk processing to real-time data serving). Despite these varied demands, Bigtable has successfully provided a flexible, high-performance solution for all of these Google products. In this paper we describe the simple data model provided by Bigtable, which gives clients dynamic control over data layout and format, and we describe the design and implementation of Bigtable. "

Google App Engine enables developers to build their web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications.

From the page: "At heart, Google data APIs (GData) use Atom feeds and entries (XML) as a data format and HTTP as a protocol for data transmission â€" extending the Atom Publishing Protocol. We publish a number of client libraries to make interacting with Google data APIs easier. However, you're always welcome to use lower-level tools to work with our services, and it's pretty easy to do with a little guidance.

cURL is a command-line application for performing requests using a variety of protocols including HTTP. cURL is often used by developers to test Google data services, as it supports the HTTP functionality required to interact with the APIs at a low level.

cURL only provides support for performing the HTTP communication, so knowledge of the GData protocol, the service-specific protocol and the XML data format used is a prerequesite for working with the application. Some other tools are mentioned in this article for making these tasks easier.

This article uses examples based upon the Picasa Web Albums data API. However, all these examples can be readily applied to other Google data APIs. "
