> Our primary datacenter is located under 1000 meters of granite rock in a heavily guarded bunker which can survive a nuclear attack.
Would they seriously have done this on intent?

How good a deal is this? I have heard that the response for this product was underwhelming. Can we use it for anything useful today?

Intellectual Ventures is a patent troll. They shouldn't even exist. Laws must ban those organizations that merely collect patents and waiting to sue people. Creativity killing machines!!

Not so long ago, I was pretty much in your situation, except that I didn't have a PhD. I was moving into a software engineering role from a DevOps role. I was initially flunking a number of interviews at pretty much the same companies you have mentioned. My advice as most, Practice and Patience while solving problems. Practice talking through a problem in particular. The interviewer is waiting with a hint in hand, which you can always use to get a direction in which to solve the problem. Getting this hint 100% of the time from the interviewer is 100% fine.
As for study, I highly recommend the index page of this book, Elements of Programming Interviews, as a reference. It contains a catalogue of questions, whose complexity exceeds that of CTCI or PIE. Here are the links.
For the entire book, http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Inside...
For just the index page, http://elementsofprogramminginterviews.com/pdf/epi-toc.pdf.
Good luck!

Apache Thrift http://thrift.apache.org/docs/ - A feature rich RPC framework with documentation that completely sucks. The docs page has evolved from "coming soon" over the last few months. You would have to dig deep into the library headers to find hidden "easter egg features".

And they would like to nominate Oracle, IBM and Microsoft to take this challenge within the next 24 hours ...
