In the US, as I understand it, if you're setting the hours and tasks and the work is consistent, workers should be classified as employees rather than contractors, correct?

Is it different where you're located?

How much did Robert Scoble's shower pic hurt Google Glass? I remember it being pretty widely mocked and pointed at as further proof that the glasses were dorky as hell.

Yeah I remembered either Larry or Sergey making that remark but couldn't remember the details. And in my defense, at the time I worked for a company that had a weird rule that required us to start our day with 30 minutes reading industry news. Which really just resulted in my scrolling through TechCrunch and reading ridiculous "drama" like this lol.

Do you have any advice for founders who are looking for investors? How much of your decision to invest would be based on the idea, the founder(s), or the business plan?

Can you share a bit about the process of getting published? For instance:

• Did you get a literary agent and they shopped it around?

• Did you have a complete draft before getting an agent/publisher?
