I just noticed that Google Labs ha sbeen updated. They've added Google Compute, where you can sign up to have your Google Toolbar solve important scientific problems.
More interestingly perhaps they have a page on Why Work at Google?
In response to my previous post, GoogleGuy points out this list of papers written by Googlers. "That page is like honey to pull in great engineers. :)" he says.
The page also implies that Rob "Plan 9" Pike (a famous programmer) now works and Google, and he does appear to.
