There are a lot of typos! Run through with a spell check.

He then says that other more prestigious startups are paying more and allow employees to be on the ground floor and have a bigger impact - I'm curious to see a list of these companies.
I also wonder if "fresh out of grad school" versus "worked at Google for 2 years + grad school" gets you into these startups. I still believe seeing Google on your resume gets you a second look.
CDs did suck for the mainstream consumer. Consumers are still opting for streaming music over high-quality FLAC tracks saved to their phone/PC/etc.
I think you meant to say: He was wrong as far as my use case was concerned.
Other thoughts - if you find a full-size keyboard uncomfortable, and prefer a custom keymapping, sounds like you might like the Happy Hacking Keyboard and a mouse of your choice:

It isn't cheap, but the compact nature of it allows you to have your mouse hand much closer. CTRL/CAPS swapping is considered also.
A simple tenkeyless (keyboard ends before the tenkey) might be suitable as well.
Of course if you're happy with your setup as is, that's all that matters. As is the common view in this thread, do whatever works for you.
I guess it's no different than following the UPS truck and taking the package after they've left, but intercepting a drone farther away (say, over a field somewhere) is probably less conspicuous.
Unfortunately you cannot swap the keys that sit in different rows. You couldn't swap a "Q" and an "A" for example - they have different profiles. See here for more information (picture on the right if you just want a quick visual):
Might get sued by a multi-billion-dollar tech company for stealing their idea, though.
You'll need a mac laptop purchased in the last 2 years running the latest version of OS X and an iPhone or iPod touch running the latest version of iOS. We provide need-based hardware assistance for students who can't afford a mac or iPod.

To allow for the building of alliances within the game, the app needed a sophisticated chat feature. In the middle of development, Leydon decided it made sense for all players, no matter what their native tongue, to speak the same language. So he built a messaging platform that included a translation engine based not only on Google Translate but also on crowdsourcing. Within Game of War, text messages, comments, and push notifications are translated with about 70 percent accuracy. Log in to the game in Polish, and everything you read from other players is in Polish, too. The game’s players correct any errors they notice in exchange for virtual rewards within the game. From the start, the average player corrected 10 misspellings and slang expressions per day.
Your bullet points read like job descriptions, and anyone else who submits a resume that has had a job remotely similar to yours will sound about the same. Focus on your projects and accomplishments while employed, and make it look less like a job post.
I know you aren't emphasizing the front end skills, but leaving them out in the open if you aren't great, and aren't up to date with your front-end skills (tables, adding classes to make paragraphs look like headings - just use headings) can make any semi-critical resume reviewer cry "eek!.." Showcase what you are best at, and don't try to justify your hiring with things you "kind of, sort of" know how to do.
As others have said, tailor your bullet points to the job you are applying for. I don't care about your systems engineer work if you're applying to be a junior dev. Talk about your internal tools and app development. Those should be your bullet points - not that you "started and completed projects" or "were a member of a team".
Focus on your strengths and your goals!
