When Twitter inevitably complained, Google essentially said it was Twitter own fault for “choosing” not to renew their search deal. From my understanding, that statement is misleading at best. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what this failed deal was actually about. One word. Actually, less than one word: - Alex Schultz

The initial Android prototypes looked a lot like BlackBerry devices (both in hardware and software). But the first device (the G1) and OS actually released was more of a cross between a T-Mobile Sidekick (which Android head Andy Rubin helped create while still a co-founder at Danger) and the iPhone OS. - Alex Schultz

Really proud to have been a part of this team. - Alex Schultz

This is a great example of what I always think is important. In many ways it's more important in an established large company where it's even harder to get stuff done past inertia. If you can really really get shit done at a large company then you are probably amazing at pushing things through (or super political which I think is easy to weed out). - Alex Schultz

"Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you." - Alex Schultz

this is exactly the stuff I get annoyed about with people saying "air travels further, thus faster" WHY and yet 10ks of people have seen this and 10ks more will. There are teachers who teach that statement, books that contain it and so on. - Alex Schultz
