Some companies acquire people for their talent. Few know what to do with that talent once they have it. Google is no exception. I wish Josh the best of luck. Wonder if he'll revive memepool?

This seems like a positive move. I imagine he learned the hard way that Google may be better than Yahoo, but it's still a Big Dumb Company.

Some people are not meant to work for others. That doesn't say much about the company. I bet most HN-er would love to have the experience to work at Google or Apple.

Oh god. I totally should.

I can't think of anything to do with it that doesn't turn into Delicious or Reddit or something. Any ideas?
