Counting seconds
One Mississippi... Two Mississippi... "It took two seconds." WRONG!
Zero Mississippi... One Mississippi... "It took a just over one second." CORRECT!

Design Sense
This is going to seem like a silly detail, but I was just reading an article about a new program at Google that will pay anyone who finds a previously unknown security vulnerability in Chrome $500.
"The standard payment for eligible bugs will be $500, with a special — and comical — reward of $1337 for 'particularly severe or particularly clever' vulnerabilities."
Now there's the kicker. There's the trademark Google stamp of thoughtful, considered application of design in every little thing they do. See, 1337 is leet for "elite." Even in considering how much money to award people for finding bugs, the spirit of design has triumphed behind Google's doors.
I'm not a huge Google fan (Palm Pre rules!), but you have to admire their attention to culture.
