People Left Google for Microsoft?

I bumped into this very interesting article, Working at Microsoft vs. working at Google. Guess what? According to Microsoft’s Windows Live Platform program manager, Dare Obasanjo, more and more people had hopped over from Google to Microsoft or had chosen to join Microsoft over Google.
I was little surprised when this article came across. Well you see, According to Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work for 2008, Google is above every other company, and Microsoft is poorly ranked at 86th, not even in the top 50! Based on 2007 list, Microsoft not even in the top 100. Surprising huh?

Small Update to Google Docs
I have switched most of my lite writing to Google Docs, and notice the other day an update for Firefox users.
If you have auto spell check enabled in your browsers then you can now fix them in Google Docs by right clicking. Before you would see the red line meaning miss spelled and the only way to do a quick fix was the press shift+right click. It was tedious, and now you by pass the google right click menu. Which is great because there was no point in it. It failed to work with windows clipboard.
Black Google!
Yup, Google in Black! As not much has noticed, on Saturday, March 29 2008 is Google.com has ‘turned the lights out’ to acknowledge a worldwide energy conservation effort, Earth Hour. Here is a screenshot of Google in Black if you have missed it.
On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv, will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to energy conservation.
Why Google didn’t make this change permanent?

gOS - GoogleOS or GreenOS?
gOS is an new operating system that just made it move into the “green” market. It claims to be a simple, user friendly, beautiful desktop for normal people. Normal people?
How about a gPC? gPC (PC that customized and loaded with gOS) is on the move too. gPC and gPC related motherboards are available at Walmart and ClubIT.com (and maybe other major US retailers).
