Lots of jobs offered there, but no vacancy for assembler programming :( ;)

They will argue that assembly language isn't no longer necessary. We've compilers for such jobs.  :lol:

for the product
small, light, low-cost - that is exactly when to use assembler
but, they already have that guy or those guys

in the test department, they want maintainable code, more than anything
while there are special languages for test purposes, C is still probably more desirable
because it's easier to find a C programmer

they already have them - this company is behind the ball
google is going to throw a bunch of money at engineers to make it work

Technical Illusions (CastAR) started with one girl - then her husband - then a few other people

early on, Jeri said she was playing with some LED's and stumbled onto the idea - lol

Google has invested heavily into robotics company's as it is,and Now they are pushing a much higher speed wireless. I think they have lots of cash,and at some point will BE the center of technology. One giant Google to rule them all.. :shock:
