Slashdot: Google Gets Serious About Open Source Mac Projects

"In the '20 percent time' that Google employees have to work on projects of
personal interest, it turns out that an increasing number are spending time
writing open-source projects for their Macs. Google has long had a fondness
for the Mac, with upwards of 6,000 of its 20,000 current employees opting to
use the Mac over Windows. It is in the 20 percent employee development
time, however, where this statistic becomes interesting.

At Google, development time translates into products. The more Mac-friendly
employees, the more Mac-related development. The more Mac-related deve-
lopment, the more Google-sponsored Mac-based open-source code. As Goog-
le's Mac Developer Playground demonstrates, some of this code is quite
interesting."
