I had thought Google was supposed to be a halfway decent place to work.
You create the Plan 9 operating system, the best in the entire universe,
and Google hires you, and they won't even give you a decent installation
of the OS you created?
GOOGLE YOU SUCK!
Seriously.
If Google was half as smart as people say they are, they would have a big
Plan 9 installation to develop ideas on, and they would share a lot of
Plan 9 improvements with the world because Plan 9 is the antidote to
the total crappiness of everything else, in comparison.
GIVE THE PLAN 9 GUYS ALL THE PLAN 9 THEY WANT GOOGLE!!!!!

I think this won't work :) I didn't mean that they forbid to use Plan 9 at work. They just have a different corporate culture. They can't change the attitude of other people at Google just to make few people happy. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Now they all use macs. By installing Acme on OS X, they get all the nerd cred they need to win pointless pissing matches, but they finally, after decades of trying, managed to escape the need to know or even vaguely understand how their computers work. Most of these people haven't touched an actual plan 9 system since their paychecks started coming from ad surveillance. Don't weep for them; the only interaction with plan 9 left for them is in posting to mailing lists about how much better the bell labs network was than anything anyone else builds. khm ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Sorry, friend; are not you expecting milk from a Bull; indeed? They are no different; just compare them with IBM as per your points of view :( BTW, Why they, the Google, did not choose Plan 9 for their smart-phone project; I don't know whether the internal or seasoned Plan 9 or Inferno engineers were consulted or not. Hence, am leaving that for the competent 9fans :P Please don't waste your time here; IMHO, you can/must just create a *Killroid* prototype and just show the same working on your phone to other open phone manufactures, amateurs and, or volunteers engineers; whenever you visit tech shows and comfortably answer their queries, just note down the question which are unable answer; rest, you already know ... One again, I request to cool down for while; and put your energy into development; keep in mind you are 40+ and I need not say that the time is precious. -- Balwinder S 'bdheeman' Dheeman (http://werc.homelinux.net/contact/) "No body can stop you, if you acquire a power to turn the Earth" ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
