We Could Run Out of Hard Drives Soon, Says Analyst
The ongoing shortage of hard disk drive supply is expected to worsen and peak in early 2012, analysts expect.
Gus Richard from Piper Jaffray told Cnet that "we could run out of drives by the end of November."
Caused by the dramatic flooding in Thailand, hard drive prices have already shot up by 10 to 60 percent, but Richard is concerned that PC manufacturers especially are not taking enough precaution to deal with the shortage.
"Nobody seems to be really paying attention. Everyone overreacted to the disaster in Japan. And now I think they're underreacting," he told Cnet. The estimate is that supply will fall about 60 million units short of a demand of 180 million drives and PC manufacturers will not be not able to meet demand with the units they can produce.
However, while Richard believes that shipments could drop by 5 to 10 million units because of the shortage, the supply problem is likely to spill over into Q1 2012 and affect 10 to 20 million units. In Q1, the expected shortage may be between 60 to 80 million units as lack of supply in Q4 is carried over into the new year.

This would be the start of the death of the spinning HDD's when its price reach SSD-like.
26joytech22 , November 10, 2011 12:13 AMHard drive prices here have gone from $90 for a 2TB drive to $160.
24ben850 , November 10, 2011 12:16 AMSucks. Maybe the SSD market will accelerate even faster now like darth mentioned.
14AbdullahG , November 10, 2011 12:24 AMWell that sucks. Maybe SSDs will drop in price? Nah, they won't. Only time will tell.
I was pissed when the harddrive I bought for $80's dropped to $65... now I'm not so pissed.
WD Cav Black drives went from 90 for a 1tb to 219! That's way more the a 100 percent!
20acadia11 , November 10, 2011 12:30 AMGuess who ain't buying a drive anytime soon, this guy!
22alidan , November 10, 2011 12:33 AMif there was a hdd maker not in tailand, they could have laughed all the way to the bank
-9alidan , November 10, 2011 12:52 AManyone else kind of hopeing for hdds to go way WAY up in price?
i mean i was thinking of getting 2 2tb drives, and having one back up the other, but if hdds go away completely... i may have to stock up on them and than ebay.
9iam2thecrowe , November 10, 2011 12:52 AMare all hard drives 100% produced in thailand? or only parts of them? Are there any HDD's not made there that are unaffected?
-1zanny , November 10, 2011 12:52 AMI'm planning on doing a build when Ivy Bridge comes out next year, but it looks like I'm going to end up using my 8 year old 2/3 TB drive a little longer.
This shortage will drive up demand across the board for disks, so SSDs shouldn't drop at all for a while, because they will start filling the void of cheap storage without low price per gigabyte hard disks. Nobody really wins because WD and friends would have made more money with 50% more drives sold at the old prices than they will at the inflated prices.
8Anonymous , November 10, 2011 12:57 AMThis is going to be an interesting System Builder if hard drive prices remain around the same.
3cumi2k4 , November 10, 2011 1:00 AMso by mid 2012 the price will come down again? i was planning to build a htpc in early 2012, but i guess waiting a few month is acceptable for me...
8tomfreak , November 10, 2011 1:07 AMthere is an 8yr old 2-3TB HDD?
12beayn , November 10, 2011 1:18 AM10 to 60% That must be in the USA. Here in Canada I'm looking at a WD Caviar Black 2TB that I bought a few months back for $129, now on for $299. That's over 130%. Most 500gb drives that were 49 bucks are now $99
14beayn , November 10, 2011 1:20 AMCorrection, I just checked again and the 2TB Caviar Black is now $399. That's a 210% increase.
4gulmat , November 10, 2011 1:22 AMTomfreakthere is an 8yr old 2-3TB HDD?
I think he was saying 2/3 as in 750GB, would make a bit more sense imo.
3Thunderfox , November 10, 2011 1:22 AMAs long as they get their act together by the time Ivy Bridge comes out, I don't care too much. I'll need a drive for a new machine at that point though.
3buzznut , November 10, 2011 1:23 AMgladiator_mohaaWD Cav Black drives went from 90 for a 1tb to 219! That's way more the a 100 percent!
I see drives every day on newegg that are 3 times as much as they were a month ago. That's not 60%, that is 300% increase in price.
In particular, I'm talking about drives that were low end anyway, 500GB or less. The larger drives (1.5TB and up) are the wisest investment right now, although I won't be buying any until this all works out.
A 3TB drive was $200, now it is $300. That's a 50% increase, in case anyone is wondering..
1cheepstuff , November 10, 2011 1:26 AMiam2thecroweare all hard drives 100% produced in thailand? or only parts of them? Are there any HDD's not made there that are unaffected?
Plenty of hard drives are not produced in Thailand, but they are still effected. The ones still produced are members of a smaller supply. The only way to stop a true shortage is to increase the price, therefore all the HDD are now more expensive.

Students create jobs for themselves, others through Interns for Indiana program
September 14, 2010
When Purdue University students Cody Ward, Sean Smith and Arjun Bhasin applied for the Interns for Indiana program, they had no idea that their internships for Rook Consulting Inc., a Silicon Valley-based startup, would end up creating jobs for themselves and others. The students worked in Rook Consulting's recently opened site in the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette. "It's been amazing. We all started as interns last spring and now we are paid employees at Rook, and the company has hired two other full-time and five more part-time employees," said Bhasin, a junior at Purdue majoring in computer science. "We just had no idea it would lead to this, but this opportunity has been the biggest accomplishment of my whole life."Read Full Story

It's like magic. Patrons around the metro will be filling Harvesters' pantry with food, and their Library late fees will be dropping like autumn leaves. Yep, it's Food for Fines time at the Kansas City Public Library!
Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer Frank White launches his new memoir with a public event on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, at the Kansas City Public Library Plaza Branch, 4801 Main St.
For a library, sending people to Google may sound, well, a bit self-defeating. But when we learned that Google would be launching its brand-new, ultra-high-speed network in Kansas City, we began preparing for a Google Fiber future.
In the new free film series Movies That Matter, the Library's film czar, Robert W. Butler, has programmed 20 films he deems essential to film literacy. They range from Citizen Kane [10] to Snow White [11].
Google Fiber is coming to Kansas City. But will it come to all of KC – or just to the neighborhoods where people are already enthusiastic about having fiber-optic power in their homes and local schools and libraries?

What is Freedom?Submitted by legalizeliberty on Thu, 06/16/2011 - 15:50
What is freedom?
I see freedom as an ability to speak directly from my heart and still being able to walk down the street as a free man.
As long as I see others doing the same and not being send to some 21 Century Gulag as long as I see them walking free there is freedom - partially at least freedom still lives on amongst us freedom fighters liberty loving folks.
Sadly things are changing.
There is a man heroic beautiful soul who is now held in prison for over a year -- guilty until proven innocent -- just because he exposed war crimes.
So my own freedom slowly fades to black as I follow the story of his legalized torture - torture by the evil machine...
All our freedoms disappear as we take time daily walking the streets of our own cities...slowly "frogs get boiled" and there seems to be too few George Carlin types around to speak out against the machine.
Friends of Liberty
Cherish the different opinions amongst you.
For when you are ordered to form just one singular opinion on any matter on any subject -- you will no longer have freedom to be who you wish to be -- you would become a slave.
Serfdom written all over your heart.

Usually, the back of a standard denture ends just behind the hard bone in the roof of the mouth. This is because they require as much surface area as possible to maximize their retention and stability. In the case of patients who struggle with gagging, however, the dentist will trim the denture forward, making its base resemble more of an arch shape. This does help the gagging reflex, however, some stability is relinquished.
Standard dentures are usually made for patients who are already missing all of their teeth. The top denture depends on suction to hold it in place, and the solidity of the underlying tissues for its strength. It generally takes at least four appointments to create a set of standard dentures.
The first appointment consists of an oral examination, usually x-rays, and a set of impressions of the upper and lower edentulous (toothless) ridges (gums). These impressions are poured, using plaster, to form accurate models of the shape of the edentulous ridges. Other considerations are determined such as the coloring, size and shape of the teeth that will be used for the new dentures.
Sometimes the dentist will suggest surgical alteration of the ridges to remove excess flabby tissue which will interfere with the stability of the new denture, and sometimes to alter the shape of the underlying bone, creating a better fit. In most cases, this surgery will not be necessary, however, it may make a much more satisfactory final fit. Modifications like these are generally time and money well spent, if your dentist recommends them.
The second appointment will generally consist of determining how long to make the new teeth, deciding the plane of the tooth setup. A guideline is, when you smile, the teeth should be parallel to a line between the pupils of your eyes, and the correct relationship of the upper and lower teeth so that when you bite together, the upper and lower teeth line up correctly. This is done using a loose fitting denture base and a rim of wax to determine the position of the teeth.
Both upper and lower wax rims are carefully adjusted to fit properly in the patient's mouth so he can speak correctly without the wax rims clicking together, and so that the upper and lower rims fit together squarely. Preferably, the wax rim should be visible a little below the patient's lip when the lip is at rest. When the patient smiles, the position of the lip is marked in the wax to help the lab decide which set of teeth are suitable for this patient. Once these relationships are accurate, the rims are sent to the lab where they are used to fabricate the wax try in. The third appointment is for the wax try in. The laboratory has returned the loosely fitting tray from the second appointment with the true final plastic teeth lined up along the outer edge of the wax rim. The wax try in appears just like a real denture, other than the foundation sits loosely on the gums, and the teeth are implanted in wax instead of what will be plastic.
This gives your dentist a chance to see how the denture looks and works before the final setup. During this step things can still be readily adjusted, by sending the denture back to the lab, where a skilled technician can re-melt the wax and set the teeth to a different specification.
Your dentist will undoubtedly refit your denture as many times as necessary until the teeth look and function as they should. When everything is ideal, the denture will be sent back to the lab to be processed and finished. The old loose fitting foundation and all the wax will be discarded, and replaced by a snug fitting plastic denture base.
The fourth appointment is usually the insertion date when the patient walks out of their dentist's office with new dentures. The plastic does tend to contract during processing, so some adjustment is typically required before they will maintain the suction that you might associate with a new denture.
Immediate Dentures Immediate dentures, also often referred to as temporary dentures, are in fact made prior to the natural teeth being extracted. The patient goes into their dentist's office with natural teeth, and walks out the same day with dentures. Their teeth are extracted, and a prefabricated denture is inserted immediately over the unhealed gums. The patient is still numb from the extractions, and really won't feel any discomfort until later at home. Usually, most patients do not mention too much pain after their teeth are extracted and the immediate denture is inserted. The denture acts like a pressurized band aid, helping to reduce pain.
The manufacture of an immediate denture necessitates only one or two preliminary appointments before the insertion date, depending on how many natural teeth the patient has left to extract, ect. They generally work out relatively well. When the patient leaves, he certainly looks much better than when he came into the office. The bone that maintained the original teeth is still intact, and the gum tissue is secure. For at least the first week, the immediate denture will remain secure and fairly well retained.
For the most part of cases, immediate dentures simply become permanent dentures, however there are large amount of issues related with immediate dentures that may cause the patient to desire new dentures made after their gums have fully healed, in about a year. These issues account for the alternative name, temporary dentures.
If the patient has more than one or two remaining front top teeth, it is frequently unfeasible to do a wax try in. The denture teeth are placed in about the same position as the natural teeth before extraction. Even though the denture teeth will be straight, their position may not be perfect because there is no way to preview them as the dentist normally would with a standard denture. For this reason, not everyone will be happy with the finished look of their immediate denture, and may desire a new one at the end of about a year.
After all of the natural teeth have been extracted and the immediate denture is placed, there will be a rather quick loss of the bone that used to hold the natural teeth in place. By the end of about three weeks, enough bone has been lost that there is a great deal of space between some parts of the denture and the healing gums. This leads to ever-increasing slackness and sore spots which must be removed recurrently. In some offices, the dentist will include a free temporary "soft" reline at about one month after the extraction and insertion date. This is an uncomplicated way to tighten the denture against the gums, and since the material is a bit rubbery, and frequently medicated, it makes the denture much more comfortable until enough healing has taken place to do a permanent "hard" reline, usually at an additional charge.
At the end of 4 to 6 months, the immediate denture must be relined with the same acrylic that the denture base was made from originally. The hard reline is a separate procedure and the cost is normally not included in the original price of the immediate denture. Consequently, the immediate denture ends up costing a little more than the standard denture when the price of the reline is taken into account. The hard reline defines the official transition of the immediate denture into a standard denture.
Cu-Sil Dentures There are a significant amount of problems connected with full dentures, and not everyone can effectively bear them. In many cases, false teeth are not particularly useful due to maintenance or steadiness problems. On this basis, even a single healthy tooth left in place can steady an otherwise unstable full denture.
Just of late it has become feasible to develop a denture leaving an outlet here and there to allow any remaining teeth to thrust through without destroying the suction which usually holds the denture in place. The Cu-Sil denture has these outlets for any remaining natural teeth. These outlets are encircled by a gasket of stable silicone rubber which hugs the natural teeth and allows the rest of the denture to rest against the gums giving the advantage of suction in addition to the wonderful stability presented by the immobility of the natural teeth.
CuSil dentures help stabilize loose teeth and may even prolong their lives. It is also simple to replace lost natural teeth with the CuSil denture, and the denture can be relined like any other standard denture. The versatile CuSil denture can finally, should the need arise, be altered into a regular full denture if the patient one day loses all the natural teeth.

English saxophonist Elton Dean has inspired several memorials since his untimely demise in 2006. But there is always space for another when it is as vital as Remembrance, a two CD set from 2004 issued by the Lithuanian NoBusiness imprint. Best known for his seminal work with the jazz rock pioneers Soft Machine, Dean also amassed a substantial discography in the company of luminaries such as Keith Tippett,Kenny Wheeler, Roswell Rudd and Howard Riley. All the three other participants on this slice of unfettered, free jazz interaction collaborated with Dean repeatedly from the early 1990s onwards, explaining the easy going ...read more
This reissue of two Ninesense recordings, from the late British saxophonist Elton Dean, creates a gateway back to the London jazz scene of the 1970s. Digging into bands that he played with previously outside of his work with Soft Machine, he formed the nine-piece Ninesense with Keith Tippett, along with several other members of that pianist's bands, as well as other players that passed through the ranks of late South African pianist Chris McGregor's band, Brotherhood of Breath, like drummer Louis Moholo. Despite being accompanied by an astounding assembly of front-line horn players, Dean never gets lost in the mix ...read more
That infinite moment with which a lot of the music AAJ covers is preoccupied is amplified here, rife with a depth which far outstrips the casual manner in which the music came together. Afforded the relative luxury of three days of studio time in February 1972, some of that time's most creative individuals on the British scene came together to work both spontaneously and collectively. The results, even while inevitably reflective of that casual approach, demonstrate the primacy of that moment and how it was addressed.
But Insane" possesses positive kinetic energy, with the sheer volatility of Elton Dean's sopranino ...read more
Though non-idiomatic is a term often thrown around when referring to post-1960s British improvisation, the more apt one might be cross-idiomatic, insofar as significant players have worked across genres with regularity. Take alto saxophonist Elton Dean, for example. He was part of the three-horn front line of pianist Keith Tippett's group, which was co-opted by the Soft Machine (a band for whom even the term progressive rock" doesn't do justice). Though trumpeter Marc Charig and trombonist Nick Evans eventually left, Dean stayed on through the early 1970s while at the same time playing with Tippett, pianist Chris McGregor and tenor ...read more
Here's another exercise in musical archaeology from Reel and it is worthy of loud and prolonged applause. British pianist Miller was always a worthwhile player, shaping up here as he often did as the British Mal Waldron in terms of his purged-of-excess approach to the keyboard. He always kept sound musical company and the presence of both Dean and drummer Eddie Prevost testifies to that here.
Made in the moment, Dedicated To Few" is a highly persuasive manifesto for such an approach. When the music bucks and boils it's only as an outcome of what's gone before, with each musician's ...read more
Poignant doesn't cover it. This was one of Elton Dean's last gigs before his death and all the qualities that made him such a distinctive voice on alto sax and saxello--his wit, his ascetic, unsentimental lyricism and the like--are caught in abundance and in the company of a band who do a whole lot more than simply provide a framework for his invention.
Millennium Jumble (The Wrong Object)" is a case in point. Dean's saxello work in particular was always marked by a certain leanness, as if he'd gone to the trouble of purging his playing of unnecessary diversions, and ...read more
In the world of improvised music the energy of a first meeting can often be better than when there's been adequate prep time. British saxophonist Elton Dean's collaboration with the Belgium group The Wrong Object wasn't meant to be impromptu. And with Dean and the improvisational jazz/art rock quintet having exchanged scores for the October 18, 2005 performance documented on The Unbelievable Truth, it isn't as if either party had no preparation. But unexpected circumstances scuttled a pre-show rehearsal, so what you hear is literally a first encounter.
The Wrong Object has built a reputation for its astute interpretation of ...read more

I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at Google.Interview Details
Was contacted by Google's recruiter and a quick phone interview was set up. Was not actively looking for a change at that time, but who wouldn't want to work at Google, right? That was my thought. After the phone interview, came to Google campus twice for series of interviews. It was a combination of 1:1, 1:3, interviews, and there were total of six settings. After weeks have gone by, I was asked to do another phone interview with an recruiting executive based in the East Coast.Interview Questions

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at Google in August 2014.Interview Details
Phone screen with global HR, phone interview with a team manager. Then 4, 40 minute onsite interviews. Everyone was very helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the process.
Phone interviews all very conversational and straight forward, re: "easy". By the end of these first interviews you will have a MUCH clearer idea of what the job actually entails. In my case, the JD ended up being more advertizing and sales based than I had expected.
I came in person to Mountain View for the 4 onsite interviews and interviewed with a diverse group of team managers, and their managers' managers. One guy still wanted to do a Google Hangout interview because he was on the other side of campus, which was a strange given how far I had traveled to meet the team.
Questions onsite were both easy & difficult, but rapport was good with all interviewers.
One interviewer made it clear that if I was accepted for the job I would not have time to pursue other projects I was working on on the side. They were also very transparent about how Google differs from the startup environment I was used to, and what would be my potential frustrations at Google.
I came away from the interviews unsure if the job actually was the right fit for me -- from the lack of offer seems like the interviewers agreed.
Questions were all behavioral "tell me about a time when...", resume related, industry related, and hypothetical "what would you do if...". No brain teasers.No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- Application Details
I applied through a staffing agency – interviewed at Google in August 2014.Interview Details
I went through a company called Adecco in Mountain View, and was connected to a contract Google job through them. 50% of Google employees are managed by outside companies, so that is how I went about it. After my application was submitted I was not contacted at all for 2 weeks, so I figured nothing was happening. While I was on vacation in Chicago I got an email from them saying I would have a phone screen the next day with google at 4:30pm. This was an inconvenient time for me, but I guess they are google so they can do whatever they want. I did the phone screen and was asked pretty basic questions about my background, why the RC position, what my transferrable skills are (i'm in education). Then after that I didn't hear from them until the following week. They sent me an email saying I was scheduled to come to Mountain View for an in person interview that Friday at 11:00pm. I had already planned to be out of town that day at another interview for another company, so this was frustrating that Google did not ask me what my availability was. I asked for Monday instead, but they refused saying that all the interviewing for this position was already scheduled for Friday. I accepted a skype interview instead. I interviewed with 2 groups of people. They asked me about my background, why the switch from education, what my priorities are when faced with many projects at one time. They asked me if a recruiter internally at Google were unresponsive to my calls and emails to set up an appointment, what I would do to handle that. They asked me to tell them an experience about customer service, and about how I have handled a difficult situation within my career. After the interview I didn't hear back from them for 2 weeks even though they said I would hear back within the next week. Finally when the lady from Adecco called me back to tell me I didn't get the job, the only feedback she gave me was that Google said that "Candidate lacks drive and ambition". I felt that the interview was strong, and I doubt that is the case seeing as I have already turned down that same position at 3 other big companies in the area and just really wanted Google!
I have a good friend who is doing the same RC job for them right on on contract, and she actually had to interview for about 5 different positions before she got a job with Google. There is no magic formula for what they are looking for in these interviews (at least none of us have figured it out if there is) because many of the jobs there are menial easy tasks that anyone with half a brain and a college degree could do. Most people there are incredibly over qualified, working temp for $25 an hour, and face no chance of being converted at the end of their contract. Getting a job at google really just depends on who your interviewer is, how much they like you, would they want to hook up with you, what they had for lunch that day, or what kind of mood they are in. If you don't get it, just keep trying.Interview Questions

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at Google in August 2014.Interview Details
I was contacted after reaching out for an employee referral for a position in sales support. The recruiting staffer talked to me on the phone for 30 minutes to get a sense of my background. She then kicked off the process first involving a phone interview with the hiring manager, a Google Hangout with one of the managers on the team, and finally an onsite 3-person interview at one of the Mountain View offices. This took about more than a month to get through. It was stressful for me to research the products as much as possible but well organized (all interviewees were on time, the 1 day trip to Mountain View was very smooth). There weren't any crazy questions (mostly behavioral or hypothetically support strategy scenarios).
After the on-site interview, I heard back from a recruiter in about 4-5 days with a rejection. I was very disappointed but understood that the position wasn't the best fit for me. I didn't think I performed at 110% throughout each interview and was kind of amazed to brought to the on-site. I imagine they picked someone with a stronger support background.
Overall, the process was clearly executed, however, I never got the sense that the employees truly enjoyed what they were doing or that the recruiters were eager to have me in the process. I'm just comparing this to the other interview process I had with another big tech company where I actually felt that they wanted me. I always felt like there was a general sense like "We're Google. You're not good enough for us," but this won't stop me from trying again in the future.Interview Questions

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7+ weeks – interviewed at Google in July 2014.Interview Details
I applied at the beginning of July 2014 specifically looking for a "startup" team within Google, and the entire process from submitting to signing took approximately 2 months. The process went smoothly from step to step, but it was quite a long and exhausting process compared to other interview processes I was going through, and I definitely considered accepting other offers since Google was moving relatively slowly compared to other smaller startups. I'm glad I held out in the end, as Google was my top choice. Looking back at the interview process timeline, Google recruiting was prompt in their communication with me about my status, often getting back to me within the same day that I'd made it on to the next step. However, between steps and scheduling next steps was where the time seemed to add up and cause the process to drag out. The salary the offered me was competitive, and I negotiated a bit just to see what would happen, and successfully increased both my base and stock options.
App Submission: July 1st
Conversation with Recruiter #1: July 2nd
Recruiter #1 referral to Recruiter #2: July 7th
Conversation with Recruiter #2: July 10th
Phone Screen: July 14th
Video Conference: July 15th
Onsite: July 29th
Hearing back about Onsite: August 5th
Hiring Committee Submission: August 15th
Offer: August 21st
Signing: August 22nd
All three parts of the interview- phone screen, video conference and onsite- involved hypothetical case situations, and I was definitely taken by surprise to have a case during the phone screen, so be prepared for that. My onsite consisted of three interviewers- the head of the group, a manager within the group, and a manager from another team- and they were a mix of hypothetical case questions, behavioral questions and questions about how I work with others in a team setting. Overall, most of the interviewers had a fairly warm interviewing style, but one person had a totally cold, poker-faced interviewing style, and it threw me off a ton, since I'm the kind of person that needs at least some facial feedback.
The hiring committee step of the process was confusing to me- all hiring at Google goes through a centralized hiring committee, with hiring for each role category decided by a dedicated hiring committee. One is not officially extended an offer until the hiring committee approves the application, so even though the team I interviewed with verbally stated that they wanted me, I didn't have an offer until 2.5 weeks later when the hiring committee approved me. After approval from the hiring committee, salary and compensation are then decided by a separate committee.
Overall, I had a very positive interviewing experience and thought my recruiter did a great job keeping me in the loop and preparing me for each step of the interview process. It was unquestionably a long and exhausting process, and felt like jumping through repeated hoops, and I know it would have been pretty crushing for it to not work out after having been put through so much, but luckily it did for me.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI was able to negotiate- I just asked whether a relocation package was available, and ended up getting a higher base and more stocks in lieu of a relocation package, which worked out better for me in the end. I was advised by other Googlers that it's relatively difficult to negotiate base, but that there is more room to negotiate on stock options, but luckily I was able to adjust both.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- I had hypothetical case questions in all three stages of my interview, and the questions were very tied to the actual content of the role. I wasn't expecting a case question in my phone screen, as I assumed it'd be entirely behavioral, so that caught me off guard. Otherwise, as others have mentioned, they seem to care more about how you think, rather than whether the answer is right the first time around. For example, during one of my onsite interviews, I was asked to come up with the requirements to automate a particular process, and the initial metric I based the requirements off of was not entirely accurate. The interviewer guided me by asking me different situations to get me to test the metric until I revised my thinking to a metric that more accurately measured the process. Through this experience, I got the impression that the interviewers wanted to see how agile I was in my thinking, and were constantly prodding me to see what sorts of answers I would produce.

45 minute phone interview: program a computational geometry problem, the phone interviewer did not ask anything else at all.
I prepared for two weeks. I had been asked to brush up on my algorithms. So I basically took, the online versions of Prof: Tim Roughgarden's Algorithms class @ Stanford and parts of Prof. Erik Demain's class on Advanced data structures. @ mit. Also geeksforgeeks.org also helped me. Even if you don't get into google, I would say that taking these classes are very good for your future technical skills.
5 people interviewed me, 45 minutes each. None of the 5 interviewers asked me any algorithm heavy questions. There was no topcoder style questions either. Most of the questions were related to my domain area viz: computer vision and machine learning. Since I had just switched into these areas, I was not an expert and my answers were often patchy. One of the interviewers asked me a question on large scale system design.
I am just waiting for the results.Interview Questions

LA HABRA – The steps taken by La Habra's Nadya Suleman – known to the world as Octomom – to stave off financial ruin have involved stripping, performing in an adult DVD and trading punches in celebrity boxing matches.
But the latest tactic the mother of 14 is employing to raise money involves simply asking for it.
Through a money-raising website, GoFundMe.com, Suleman, 37, is asking the public for donations to help raise $150,000 toward the purchase of a new home. As of Tuesday afternoon, 44 donors have contributed a total of $1,800.
The site allows people to build a fundraising web page "for the things that matter to you most. From honeymoons to memorials and everything in between, it's easy to invite family & friends to donate to your important life events, projects & causes," the website states.
"Nadya's page continues to receive many visits and the donations have been slow and steady from the beginning," said Greg Smith, GoFundMe vice president of operations, through an email. "As with all GoFundMe users, we wish her the best of luck."
Suleman's page is titled "Octomom Home" and shows a photo of the mother with 10 of her children.
The largest donation: $500 from a donor called "My Father's Son" who wrote, "The kids don't travel out the birth canal, pop out and ask to pay for their parents' choices. So, no hating or judging on the mother, I'm just offering the kids about a day and a half of financial sanity."
Most donations to Suleman were $10 to $20.
Contributors send money using debit or credit cards and GoFundMe takes a 5 percent cut.
Suleman, who moved into her four-bedroom, three-bathroom La Habra home in 2009, became instantly famous when giving birth to octuplets in January of that year. She already had six children. All 14 were conceived through fertilization treatments.
In April, Suleman told the Register she felt ashamed for having to receive government aid to help buy food for her children.
Suleman fell months behind in her $3,000-a-month house payment, prompting the property to go to auction. In June, the home failed to sell at a foreclosure sale and remains property of the bank.

Street battles in Beirut during the night between groups for and against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's embattled regime left two people dead, Lebanon's state-run news agency said on Monday.
The fighting, which also wounded 18 people, erupted after reports emerged that army troops had shot dead an anti-Syria Sunni cleric when his convoy failed to stop at a checkpoint in north Lebanon on Sunday.
The cleric's killing followed a week of intermittent clashes that left 10 people dead in the northern port city of Tripoli between Sunnis hostile to the Syrian regime and Alawites who support Assad.
The fighting in Beirut raised fears of a repeat of sectarian clashes in 2008 that pitted Sunnis against Shiites and brought the country close to civil war.
The revolt in Syria has exacerbated a deep split between Lebanon's political parties where the opposition backs those leading the revolt against Assad while a ruling coalition led by the powerful Shiite Hezbollah supports the regime.
The opposition has accused Assad of seeking to sow chaos in Lebanon in order to relieve the pressure on his regime.
More than 12,000 people, the majority of them civilians, have died in Syria since an anti-regime revolt broke out in March last year, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
