Wednesday Links - Of Google & Goats

Wednesday Links:

• If you're feeling depressed about Auckland's long history of poor planning and miserable architecture, check out Auckland City Photos for a classier look at our fair city.
  
• Al3x, (of Twitter fame) reminds us why being a hero is bad for business:
  Heroes are damaging to a team because they become a crutch. As soon as you have someone who's always willing to work at all hours, the motivation from the rest of the team to produce reliable, trouble-free software drops. The hero is a human patch. Sure, you might sit around talking about how reliability is a priority, but in the back of your mind you know that the hero will be there to fix what doesn't work.
• Google reveals it has been under attack by Chinese hackers. In the official post, Google all but accuses the Chinese government of attempting to hack into activists' accounts and announces it's intention to stop filtering Google.cn search results, even if it means the end of Google in China.
  
• Finally, goat teleportation bugs are exposed in a light-hearted Chromium bug report.
