Either it was Lester's house computer or one of the Lifeinvader computers, but it was using a text editor that looked strikingly similar to Sublime Text. I had to do a double take.

The whiteboards in one of the Lifeinvader rooms, gave me a chuckle. It read, "Remember! We aren't ripping them off if they don't read the T&C" with word privacy crossed out.

kaws | 12 years ago | on: Google announces Calico, a new company that will focus on health and well-being

Wow! This reminds me of a comment I saw on HN, or maybe it was a blog post about either Google's Project Loon, or Google Glass. I can't seem to find a link or the actual author, but they essentially said:

"What I care about is that Google has become a machine that turns advertising dollars into fundamentally groundbreaking new projects like Google Glass, Project Loon, and self-driving cars. They’re not just trying to make money: they’re trying to use that money on far-fetched moon-shot projects with the chance to be genuinely revolutionary. I admire that."

Now they are investing in a new realm where they are "excited about tackling aging and illness." Google's ambition, and vision is inspiring! Hopefully we see some innovation in this sector from this investment.

Interesting read. I agreed with most of the build-up to the climax. Yahoo! does frequent my mind now! Yahoo! is doing some interesting things!

Although, after reading I did visit Yahoo.com on my iOS device's and I was greeted with a much more pleasant mobile experience than the OP. For example, swiping gestures flicked through headline articles, stationary search bar, and a hamburger menu icon that hid navigation to other areas of Yahoo!.

Maybe it was just the OP's device?

Definitely not a crazy thought to me. I'm in your shoes also. I'd love to work my way in to be mentored.

The only person I've had a small amount of mentorship from is Allen Wong, the creator of "5-0 radio app." I email him back and fourth occasionally. Just a normal guy. He helps me with my app development. I feel so fortunate to chat and get help from someone who is already successful.
