How gets Google the ideas of their employees?

Q. I read that the people at Google can use a part of their working time not for their normal work but to be creative and to invent new ideas during that time. How does the leadership of Google then gets to know this ideas?
Do the people put these ideas into the intranet, where it can be judged by the colleagues. Or is their a committee of some people, which collects the ideas and evaluates them. Or is it quite different?

A. Google encourages their employees to spend 20 percent of their time working on ideas they feel will be most beneficial to Google.

Based on Google's lavish employee benefits (i.e. free food, tuition reimbursement, back-up child care, etc.), employees whose ideas become reality most likely get generous compensation. Additionally, they get notoriety and a good shot at a promotion.

I also noticed, while reviewing Google patents, that all contributing employees names appear to be listed.

When is the google phone coming to Verizon Wireless and did it already come to Verizon Wireless?
Q. Did the google phone come to Verizon Wireless? Is it the HTC DROID ERIS and/or the MOTOROLA DROID? Are there several versions for the google phone? Is the google phone different for each cellphone network? How much is it? I heard that is was coming to Verizon Wireless in the spring but I am not sure. If you know anything, please answer. I really want to know when the google phone is coming to Verizon Wireless and if it came out already.

A. At this time the HTC Eris and Motorola Droid are the only Android based phones for Verizon and run the latest versions of the Android OS. The original Google phone, the T-Mobile HTC G1, will probably never be released to another carrier because it can only run the first generation Android OS.

How google gather information about users to customize advertisemnet?
Q. From a technical point of view how Google in different ways can (or could) gather information about users and use it to customize advertisements, both at their own and others' sites. What kinds of information can be gathered?

A. The best way is to read and understand Google's patent describing their contextual advertising process of scoring ads by price, relevancy, and performance, using a technique called "probabilistic hierarchical inferential learned cluster."
