A friend sent me this and I didn't know where else to post it:

Hopefully this will lead to other developers raising their game.

Stephen Hawking was at the official opening that took place on the 21st: Link The Verge has a nice article about the building with some pictures of the interior: "What we have here is the Bell Labs of the 21st century," proclaimed Mike Lazaridis, co-founder and vice-chairman of Research In...
