Google Launches Google Code 235
ibjhb writes "Google is at it again and has launched Google Code. It appears to be "Google's place for Open Source software". " Can't say that I'm surprised that our old friend (and former Slashdot Author) Chris DiBona is working on this one. They have links to several open source projects, as well as to Google API information.

Google can help you search billions of pages on the Internet, but it won't save you any money on car insurance.

C'mon Bowie, you know that you can't resist trolling Chris DiBona. Let us know about how Google Code was all your idea until he stole it from you!

Modest Proposal for Google (Score:1, Funny)
There can also be no doubt that Google is a true believer (rather than simply trying to exploit the goodwill of the OSS community). Therefore, I propose that Google open source its search algorithms. Millions of eyeballs helping to improve the system: fixing bugs, adding features, increasing performance...what could be better!
I'm sure once Google gets wind of this idea, they will begin implementing it immediately. Do you want me to call them or do one of you guys want to do it?

Given the large number of major thing discovered by pure accident [bbc.co.uk]. Maybe you would be better off hiring a bunch of incompetent idiots and carefully watching what happens when you tell them do something difficult.
