Look at the slide entitled Gmail (5), and compare the picture with the first graph on my blog post http://jeremykun.wordpress.com/2011/08/11/the-perceptron-and... It just goes to show, Google steals content without attribution just like everyone else.

Wait, they just used your graph and didn't even contact you about it?
My day-to-day programming consists so much of process and simple boolean logic that I hardly ever use math more challenging than 1 + 1 and 1 != 0. It's great to review how math can greatly influence the potential of your code.
For example are you a web developer? Have you started using A/B testing yet? If yes, that's math. If no, then you are in a position to make your employer a substantial amount of money.
For another example my very first project in my first programming job required me to build a set of canned reports. There was one user request which turned into, "We want to do this, but don't know if it is possible." I wound up using inclusion-exclusion techniques that I'd learned in grad school to solve that problem! (The problem was how to ship a local database without detailed information they shouldn't have about the rest of the company, and yet still be able to present reports comparing themselves to the rest of the company. And those reports had to drill down. So if you were responsible for 5 sites you'd be able to generate those reports for everyone that you could see, or for each site individually.)

It's one guy who happens to work for Google, rather than the whole company.
But that essay's main topic was an imagined technology called memex, to be implemented with an automated indexing system and microfilm. This technology is the first description of hypertext, which inspired multiple technologies. The second successful consumer application that I'm aware of that used hypertext was the web. (The first was HyperCard from Apple.)
Thus Google started as the application of one set of techniques inspired by As We May Think to a technology that was also inspired by As We May Think.
See http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1945/07/as-we-ma... for the essay itself. Do keep in mind that it was written one year after the transistor was invented, but the author already had 2 decades of experience with computing.

I imagine they have a release process to get something on research.google.com, though. So the company is endorsing it.

What do you expect them to do? Somehow do an image-similarity search throughout the web for every image used in papers by their employees?
