Is there nothing we can do about these scummy tactics? Can they be reported to some government entity?


Those buttons looks cool. Anyone know where to get them? (https://googlecreativelab.github.io/anypixel/img/carousel_02...)


They have full documentation on the hardware they used as well, look at the bom.pdf for "bill of materials" which specs EVERY item. You're looking for https://na.suzohapp.com/products/arcade_game_parts/58-0091-S...


They're standard white arcade coin-op buttons. I get mine here in Australia from ozstick [ http://www.ozstick.com.au/product/classic-dimpletop-pushbutt... ].

In the states checkout Happ Controls (now seem to be called Suzohapp) [ https://na.suzohapp.com/products/pushbuttons/58-9111-L ] or Amusement Distributors. [ http://www.amusementdistributors.com/index.php?main_page=pro... ]

Just note that they're not illuminated, they just take a standard size microswitch. Looks like they rigged up the illumination separately.


Check the html source for this additional tidbit

> The following day, Tamara entered the office she shared with Sean and Larry, and saw "google.com" as the final name remaining on their whiteboard. Recognizing the misspelling, she brought it to their attention. Sean checked the domain name registry for "googol.com" and found that it was already taken. Larry said he preferred the "google.com" spelling anyway, and when he and Sergey later received their first angel investment check for $100,000 from Andy Bechtolsheim, it was made out to "Google Inc."


Weird, I wonder why this was commented out? Was it something the author preferred to leave out and didn't do it properly? Or was it just an editorial mistake?
