It used to be that M.I.T was filled with code-breakers. The movie A Beautiful Mind takes place there and in real life it’s always had close ties with the military and intelligence agencies. Tech companies also like to recruit there, and Google is no exception.
In search of some beautiful minds, Google has been putting up signs around the M.I.T campus with a code that say, “If you can figure this out, you may have a future with Google.” If they crack the code, which is a fairly simple substitution cipher, it reveals a phone number where they can leave their contact information.

The data liberation front is an engineering team at Google whose singular goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products.
They do this because they believe that any data that you create in (or import into) a product is your own.
They help and consult other engineering teams within Google on how to “liberate” their products.

We appear to be becoming more like a giant ant colony, a multitude of individuals with a collective brain, and a single wellspring, a super-entity which evokes power, action and belief. It has a name.
We call it Google”.
