If that is truth,be relax.It is a normal things.
the judge time is too short for them after extending the
deadline,and also the second stage cann't move too far.

As a matter of fact even Google employees are suspicious about me. That proves really how well I research the net and find out information.
OK, here the reason, the May 5 date stands:
1. The already extended the challenge deadline. 2. The waiting period is kinda nervous for all including developers. 3. Once winners are announced, work can move on like introducing new SDK's and so on.
Given all this, I made a prediction that Google will be working hard to meet the May 5 date thereby making everyone happy.
Now is this too hard to infer or am I going insane?
Good luck to each and every one of 1788 submissions. Google will do no evil. Relax.

I hope you are right. I still don't think they'll make the deadline
though, even with your good reasons. I simply don't believe that they
can process 1700+ applications by May 5th. Anyway, we'll see.

The change in the faq would indicate to me that they expect that they
probably miss the may 5 deadline with a few days, in my opinion not a
suprise given the huge number of applications that needs to be judged.

Hmm.. If May 5 is the date, then by this Friday (May 2) all of the applications must have been hit thoroughly. If people are still complaining about server hits not happening still by sat/sun, then we can be sure results are not going to happen May 5.

If our application makes the qualifier, we will need to staff up with
folks who exhibited the coding elements we need in round 1. Depending
on SDK maturity, and how Google is steering it, we may need a bit more
time for phase two.
As an aside, java may be the best/only language to provide the power
and safety needed to let folks work in this space that is much less
constrained than what Apple is offering. For one coming from Fortran,
AWK and some C, learning Java was/is... a significant time constant,
but I am starting to understand why it was choosen here in a first
hand kind of way.

1) The original deadline was pushed out a month and a half. You think 4 business days is going to phase them? 2) The waiting period is nervous for the people who are out of the loop and put all the work in. That's us. Nobody else is nervous. 3) They could introduce a new SDK tomorrow. I think they sat on the #15 for a while, actually, and I'm surprised they didn't toss out a new one after the contest ended.
Its like this. The judging will take as long as it takes. I think they'd rather keep us hanging than not really do the job of reviewing that is needed. I'd personally prefer they do that.
I do, however, wish they'd tell the people that are out that they're already out. You know? I could have my pity party this weekend (if I were out ;).

On the other hand, they only have 100 applications to judge. So it is
plausible that the announcement of the 50 winners happens on May 5th
but would not be surprissed if it happends on the 6th or 7th.

Actually, if I recall correctly the judges are due to have their scores on the 100 back to us by Wednesday. Then we have to tabulate the scores, and I think the legal department has to finish their eligibility review (to make sure no submitters are known terrorists, and that sort of thing. ;) So I don't think we'll be able to announce anything before Wednesday. But as far as I know we are still on track to announce sometime next week.
