I suggested having a "Compose" button instead of a link in 2004. I noticed no one, including myself, was looking for a link when they wanted to write a new email because the other active Gmail actions like "Search" and "Delete" all had buttons.
Also highly relevant to why 165 University would be lucky: downtown Palo Alto is within walking distance from "the quad" on Stanford campus (just down Palm Drive).
But they may have very well leased space in 165 University Ave; I was also told by the time they moved, they had a complex shuttle system to get between their many office spaces in Palo Alto.
Try http://www.bkmks.com: (Google) search box at the top; organize your favorite links below via drag & drop. Fast and simple.
I just wish it had tabs and easy/multiple delete (I hacked together a javascript bookmarklet to work around the multiple-clicks-to-delete-a-single-link issue)
I often take photos of textual signs for use later. Take it to the next level: OCR text from the built-in cameras. A friend suggested OCR from live video was even possible (on an iPhone!) My vision was being able to enter text by scribbling something on a napkin, and OCR'ing the text in.
- Multiple changes that affect the same line(s) are very difficult to pick apart.
- It is easier to write a meaningful commit message while the change is fresh in your head; otherwise a lot of time is spent reviewing your changes.
