Google posted strong quarterly revenues and earnings this afternoon, beating Wall Street estimates on both counts. But also notable was the number that the company reported for its overall employment: 20,621 permanent workers, an increase of nearly 4 percent over the fourth quarter of last year.
Looking back at the historical numbers, that's the biggest sequential increase in jobs at the Internet search giant in two years.

Fifteen years ago, a printer was a 40-pound beast that noisily crunched huge piles of perforated paper, and the closest it could come to producing a picture was a dithered black-and-white mesh of brownish dots. Now, a photo-quality printer is within the reach of anybody, and they are in pretty much every home in America. So what's next?
When most of us still marveled at the first inkjet printers, a small Israeli company named Objet Geometries came up with what will be, someday, a daily part of our lives – 3D printers. Even today, 10 years later, this is still expensive and limited technology, but prices have gone down and you can already go into some print-houses with a USB drive and come out a while later with a 3D model of your choice.
Within a few years – probably less than a decade, this technology could become something like the replicators from Star Trek. Need a nice vase for flowers? No worries – step into the other room, and print one. The kid broke a plate? Piece of cake – hit print, and 2 minutes later you can have a new one. Who knows – someday, we may even be able to print "active" items, like a watch, a cell phone or even some types of food.

A week after a major setback from the Food & Drug Adminstration, Seattle-based biotechnology company Cell Therapeutics Inc. said this morning that it has cut 36 jobs as part of a broader plan to reduce its operating expenses by $16 million this year. The FDA on April 9 formally turned down the company's application for a new drug to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
In addition to cutting those three dozen jobs, Cell Therapeutics said it has eliminated its previous plans to increase its commercial work force, among other cuts in operating expenses. The company says it's now estimating its operating expenses around $60 million this year, down 21 percent from previous projections.
Microsoft's Exchange Team has been doing its best to battle Lotus Notes, but one of its former employees is embracing the venerable email and collaboration software from IBM. Seattle-based Gist, led by Exchange veteran T.A. McCann, this morning announced the initial availability of its new plugin for Lotus Notes.
Confidence is spreading through the capital markets, with the Nasdaq up a whopping 54 percent in the past 12 months. And that surging stock market also appears to be good news for emerging companies that want to go public, with PricewaterhouseCoopers forecasting this week the IPO market will continue to show strength throughout 2010. The problem with that positive outlook -- at least for the homers who read TechFlash -- is that the IPO love hasn't hit Seattle companies.
Parallels may be best known for its virtualization software that lets Mac users run Windows, but the Renton-based company has been expanding its brand since its combination with SWSoft.
Its expanded offerings include the web hosting automation and management program now known as the Parallels Plesk Panel, and today the company announced that it's incorporating Google Services for Websites into that program.
Todd Humphrey — who recently left Amazon.com to join Kobo, a rival electronic book retailer — dropped by TechFlash to demo Kobo's forthcoming eReader, due to release in the U.S. this summer. The Kobo eReader, with a retail price $149, will be more than a hundred dollars less than the cheapest Amazon Kindle ($259). It doesn't do wireless downloads like Kindle, but it will support the open ePub format for electronic books (unlike Kindle). Can Kobo grab a piece of the e-reader market? Humphrey walked us through the basics.
Be careful with this one, unless you have an extra hour or two to spare today.
Game designer Brett Ballow of Bellevue's Tozai Games worked with students from Redmond's DigiPen Institute of Technology to develop a new game called Sync-Ball for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. The mentally challenging game requires players to carefully coordinate the synchronized movement of balls across platforms in space, strategically using walls to get them to drop simultaneously into deviously placed holes.
It's very clever and, in our experience, highly addictive.
Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder and Portland Trail Blazers owner, has been spotted hanging out courtside with Bill Gates many times over the years, but he had a different guest last night: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who was on hand at the Rose Garden for the Blazers game against the Golden State Warriors.
Allen, who is undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, was the one doing the listening as Ballmer talked during the brief television cutaway above. So are they cooking up some kind of business deal? Not necessarily. Ballmer is a big basketball fan, who at one point led an effort to keep the Sonics in Seattle. It was also the final game of the regular season, so it's not a huge surprise that he was there.
More than 40,000 people have jumped back into "Halo 2" over the last 24 hours, savoring their final online battles in an iconic multiplayer game. Less than 90 minutes remain before Microsoft discontinues Xbox Live for games made for the original Xbox console, following through on a decision announced in February.
Halo developer Bungie has been marking the occasion by using the in-game dashboard to serve up some special messages to players, as collected in a gallery put together by game blog Joystiq. "Thanks for playing," reads one of the Bungie messages. "Seriously? More than five years after launch? You're awesome."
Today's head-scratcher comes courtesy of USA Today, which included this rather odd tidbit in a cover story about the bipartisan commission appointed by President Obama to tackle the federal deficit, led by former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles.
Bowles has been in touch with Microsoft's Steve Ballmer about creating a deficit-reduction video game that would enable anyone with a computer to take a stab at balancing the budget, much like the 1994 commission did.
Seattle's Lucid Commerce has pulled in an additional $2 million in funding, money that comes from Greycroft Partners which was in the news today after the New York firm announced a new $130 million fund.
It was a little surprising when Todd Humphrey took a job at Amazon.com just over a year ago. After all, as we pointed out at the time, Humphrey had spent most of his career working at venture capital firms and early-stage startups. Well, as it turns out, Humphrey has found his way back to the startup world after a short stint at Amazon.
The 41-year-old executive left Amazon.com at the end of last year, and just recently landed at Toronto-based e-book retailer Kobo. Humphrey is a Toronto native (and a former professional hockey player), but he will continue to work out of Seattle where he plans to grow Kobo's presence in what he sees as an extremely hot sector. Of course, one of the reasons that the e-book category is so hot is because of Amazon.com, which competes directly with Kobo both in electronic books and the sales of e-readers.
By Martina Hill Moving it's troublesome in itself. You have to think about every little thing. When, on top of that, you have to deal with your kids, the relocation can easily become one of the most demanding life events. And for your forthcoming relocation moves with your little children we can provide you some professional tips which may help you in the whole process of moving. If you don't have frequent relocations, your move from one location to other will be a bewildering experience for your kids and teenaged children. Make sure your children know that they can ask you any question. You'll have to listen to them carefully. Being sincere and open will help your child feel confident about the process of moving, and will provide her the security that she needs to feel. Ask your kids to sort out their possessions. Giving this task to them will make your children feel that they have the command, and that they are implicated in the moving process. Leave her to do
