need a job?
Google is hiring for their newest research facility. Be sure you read all six pages of the job description. Then check your calendar.
Although, this makes me wonder:
Obviously, a new set of tools for computing in the unforgiving conditions of deep space is needed. This month, Google will release version 10.0 of an operating system that has been optimized for the demands of extra-terrestrial computation. Known as "Luna/X," the new command architecture is impervious to radiation, low gravity, absolute zero temperatures and airless environments. Even the most intricate scripts coded in Luna/X can withstand the harsh conditions of lunar operation for months, if not years.
...is Google really developing a new OS?
Update - even if they aren't, they've added a new region to Google Maps.

Er... Sorry to disappoint, but wasn't this the April Fools joke from 1 April 2004? Co-ran for the position of April Fools joke that year with gmail, and only won barely, much to the confusion of everyone.

Yes, of course they are! And I would buy it immediately when it comes on the market. I mean, every time my PC ends up going extraterrestrial, my Linux OS fails. Oh, and all the moving parts flash freeze and the data gets blasted by all the radiation.
