Dating coach Wayne Elise once said women don’t want an engineer who looks like an engineer, they want an engineer who looks like a record producer. In that case, women will want Douglas Merrill. The eminently progressive CIO of Google is leaving his illustrious post to become President of EMI Digital Business on April 28.

Besides cracking jokes and looking like a surfer, Google CIO Douglas Merrill also serves as a model of enlightened tech management. The Wall Street Journal interviews the man who built tech infrastructure for the most tech-savvy employees on the planet.
We’re a decentralized technology organization, in that almost everyone at Google is some type of technologist. […]
Is Kevin Rose in for a well-deserved payday?
We hear from a source very close to the deal that four companies are in heavy due diligence with Digg - two media/news companies, and two big Internet companies - Google and Microsoft. And Google and Microsoft are on the verge of making their bids.
Digg is prepared to […]
Microsoft developers I talk to always point to SharePoint as the linchpin of Redmond’s stranglehold on the enterprise. Google Sites, which grew out of Google’s acquisition of wiki service JotSpot, aims squarely at that chokepoint.

It’s out, people: Google gives us a first look at Android, the much-awaited open-source Gphone OS. Google’s minimalist design ethic works beautifully on multiple mobile mobile interfaces. Lest anyone think that minimalist design can’t kick graphical ass, the Android OpenGL API lets advanced prototypes play Quake. Yes, you read that right: top-of-the-line Gphones will play […]
As expected, the Gphone is software. In fact, it’s an Android.
Android is the first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices. It includes an operating system, user-interface and applications — all of the software to run a mobile phone, but without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation. We have developed Android in […]
While Microsoft spends millions to buy itself into one API-driven social network, Google elegantly codes one API for all social networks. Watch Googlers and partners demonstrate Google OpenSocial in this video. In a dramatic heel-face turn, even the infamously proprietary MySpace gets on board for some OpenSocial action.
