I think Google are in danger of becoming viewed in the same way as Microsoft eventually (e.g. evil)
I agree with 4a$$Monkey - Google Apps just isn't that good and lacks the polish of MS Office.
Yes, I am a bit of a MS fanboy (I'm a .NET developer) but I do use Google instead of Live Search/Bing. I just think that Google should stick to what they do best before they are before the EU etc... etc...
"So the AC in the article asserts that it's QA's fault for not finding the bug, typical programmer, using QA as a safety net for shoddy code."
Not all of us blame QA... but then again what should organizations expect when they expect code to be completed *yesterday*
True, QA should have picked up on the issue, but so should have the developer. Everyone seems so quick to point the finger at others nowadays. Some bugs just go unnoticed... look at VMWare some months ago when they left an date check statement in an update rendering entire virtualisation environments useless. Even the biggest development houses make mistakes.
Sorry might have got the wrong end of the stick so feel free to flame away. :-)
Sure everyone has "reused" code from previous projects etc...
But.... You don't steal a City 'black box' end of story. Considering what else it could be used for I wouldnt be suprised if he gets a lengthy sentence, especially given the current financial situation.
