    Google has secretly hidden a tool inside its search results that recruits talented new programmers for the company. Searching for some complex programming terms can lead to access to a series of online puzzles. Solving the puzzles can lead to a job.

    Guess my searches for cat videos didn't grab Sergey's or Larry's attention.

          Yet another reason to block Google in your firewall. Nice way for them to see what you're working on and steal your ideas....

              Evasive tactics: 1. Distribute your searches over multiple search engines 2. Cloak you searches by searching for a lot of different useless terms as well 3. Further pad the searches with Cat Video searches 4. DO NOT SEARCH FOR BACON - the immediate give away.
