于细节之处看Google的强大

coofucoo:
无意中注意到一个细节：
我经常使用http://www.google.com/ig，用来作为我日常工作的工作台。google的服务并不算太好，经常会断开与google服务器的连接。当断开连接的时候，我发现google的bookmark会自动将其中的连接替换成真实的连接。要知道，在google服务器连接正常时，bookmark中的连接都是先请求google的服务器，然后由google转发的。我不知道google这样做什么意思，也许是想收集用户的数据，我不关心。问题是，当google的服务器宕掉后，google竟然还想着将这些连接改回去，真是有点关怀备至的感觉。

下面这篇文章，是一个实习生写的，观点不一定正确，却也是从细节之处看google的强大。

Yahoo intern shows why Google is more fun than Yahoo

Who cares about market share and search algorithms -- an exhuberant Yahoo intern just inadvertently showed why working at Google totally beats working at Yahoo. Paul Stamatiou blogged his reasons for loving Yahoo without realizing what he's missing at Google.

[Update: Hi, Diggers! If this article seems immature, that's because it's satire! Enjoy, and remember that people who read the front page get free drugs and candy!]

• Google's free food beats Yahoo's free drinks. And Yahoo's "Starbucks-type caffeine vendors" ain't got nothing on Google's mango lassi machine. (You had to look up "mango lassi," didn't you? You poor soul. Googlers know what mango lassis are and they drink them for lunch.)
• "The coders are sociable!" he says. Yeah, Paul, that means you'll have to make banter. With geeks. Try that on a non-mango-lassi-filled stomach.
• Paul gets to hang around famous bloggers Jeremy Zawodny and Caterina Fake. Oh, that's really exciting, that's so--MATT CUTTS, BITCH.
• Paul like's Yahoo's foosball. Foosball (pictured). Dude, the Jumpcut office has foosball, and they've got, like, ten employees and no air conditioning.
• What about massages?
• Everyone at Yahoo is on Yahoo Instant Messenger. Unlike the real world, where everyone's on AIM except that one "fight the power" AOL hater. And she's on Skype.
• Name for Yahoo HQ: Yahoo HQ. Name for Google HQ: Googleplex. You got owned. As the kids say, you got pwned. You got punned.
