Google ramps up recruiting for its self-driving car project
How do you know what a company is planning to achieve a year or two down the road? Look at who they're hiring right now.

Luke Wilson sucks as a dramatic lead actor, but whatever -- horror movies don't really need that great of acting anyway. As long as the person can look freaked out when getting chased by hicks in masks, it's all good.
