We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.

A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do.

Please follow along as we share some of our ideas and stories. We’d love to hear yours, too. What would you like to see from Project Glass?

"A lot of people (yours truly included) have long griped about the consistency and accuracy of the keyboard and text selection options in Android. Well I'm happy to report that Google has finally stepped up to the plate on the much-needed changes to both of these items."

I've been away from the internet in general for a while, but I wanted to share a math puzzle I heard recently. There are several problems that involve two envelopes, but this one is my favorite. As with all my favorite puzzles, it doesn't rely on tricky or intentionally deceptive wording—I'm stating the premise as clearly as I can:

I pick two real numbers through some process unknown to you. It might be random and it might not. Maybe I always pick "3" and "100". Maybe I roll two dice. Maybe I write C code by mashing a keyboard until it compiles and prints two numbers (or produces Windows ME). Maybe I always use 0 for the first number, and for the second I call my aunt and ask her for a negative real number, which I multiply by the estimated number of protons in the universe. (At this point, my aunt is used to that kind of call from me.)

I put these twon... more »

A very enlightening (originally internal) post about architecture, organization, and culture at Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft. Not sure how I feel about this. I will probably edit this with some of my own comments working with Google's APIs / my reflections about the company culture there.

That database is currently at about 400TB, but Sundquist says that’s just the tip of the iceberg. He said DNAnexus has actually “blown past” analyzing data at the Hadoop/MapReduce scale and is now focusing on parallelizing computation across 100,000 nodes and scaling its storage infrastructure into the exabyte range.

I am very, very sad to hear the news about Steve. He was a great man with incredible achievements and amazing brilliance. He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me. He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google's are with his family and the whole Apple family.
