On Friday, Google announced its plans for a new office space. Not surprisingly, it looks very cool. Early YCombinator alums are trying a new summer internship for college students which looks fairly interesting. Mozilla announced the release of the Webmaker app, “a free, independent web publishing tool.” Last and definitely not least, we mourn the loss of Leonard Nimoy whose portrayal of Spock will remain with us for a long time. As he would likely say, do not get emotional, that would be illogical. Live long and prosper.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
