Comma usage aside that's just over 2 trillion people. I'd hate to be in their HR department... though I do wonder what planets they all must be from.

I'm glad they don't all live and work in Mountain View. The traffic would be unbearable.

Or it might be a job that already filled but the company still have to post on its website because Google is applying for Green Card Application for people with such qualifications. Part of the process is that you have to proof that you could not find anyone to fit those qualifications. It part of the US law that require a company to show effort that they really try to find fill those positions.

Google is perfect example what future in IT will look like! In the near future we will have all IT companies hiring and firing people at the same time. Employees will be like condoms (high turn-over rate / one time deal).... they will have to fit all sizes, agree with short term/one time use, be able to protect companies from many different diseases and once company has use the certain employee....(like a used condom) it will never want to touch that employee again. The best part is...we will be happy if we get used by companies like Google..."Google takes shower every day". Companies like Wallmart are the one that will make you feel really cheep to the point that you want to throw up every day. Welcome to the future...it sucks!!!!
