Even though it seems like it would be pretty cool, I said no for a couple of reasons:
1) I'm not sure I could hack it there. While I consider myself to be a good coder (and people tell me so), I don't consider myself to be a top-notch guru ninja coder. I also don't have a CS degree, and I tend to get a little lost when people start getting into CS theory.
2) I have a (probably irrational) aversion to working at really big companies, I think probably due to my time dealing with insane bureaucracy in the Navy. If there was something at a relatively autonomous smaller group though, I would probably be down with that.
