is asking for software engineers with experience in Internet-based, interactive
TV, personal video recorders, video-on-demand and some unspecified features
offered by cable operators.

highlighted plans to broaden its business by expanding into media downloading
and localized ad-search.

seeks world of instant translations - Google's approach, called statistical
machine translation, differs from past efforts in that it forgoes language
experts who program grammatical rules and dictionaries into computers.
