Re:My Experience at Interviews with Microsoft and Google on Saturday June 21, 2008 @10:45PM (#224010)
I agree with the note that MS developers are 'more' organized or professional. Need not mean they are better - I think both Google and MS have extremely talented developers (I work at MS)...just that MS being an older company has matured in the development process. Google will soon be there.
when in Portland, Oregon, don't miss the Bend-Crater lake area. Also from Seattle I would strongly (very) recommend taking the scenic US101 instead of the interstate (I5)....lot of beautiful small towns with nice hotels/ restaurants along the pacific coast.

Could you please share the name of the lawyers you approached. You are quite true that the lawyers can make or kill it. The application process will be at least half the trouble if you have a good lawyer representing you. Also, I have heard the lawyer fee can run up to $10K. Is this true?

I think this might be a good chance for family members of people who suffer from rare and un-curable diseases to see if they too are susceptible. Other than that I think 100$ might have been a good price for this vanity.
