Google is spending some of the cash it raised from its IPO on headhunting staff to build a web browser. Staff have already been poached from Micr0soft and Sun. Joshua Bloch, a senior Java developer at Sun, and four people from Micr0soft's IE team have all joined the firm in the last few weeks, according to the New York Post. One of the four, Adam Bosworth, was also a lead developer in the development of Access. Joe Beda, a developer working on the user interface for Micr0soft's Longhorn, has also joined Google. His blog refers to the NY Post story ,but does not give too many clues to his work at Google: "My only job now is to write code and ship product. That is about all I can say too "
