Method Overloading in Java

package com.mrbear;

/**
* Hello world!
*
*/
public class App
{
    public String getHim(String name)
    {
        return name;
    }

    public String getHim(Object object)
    {
        return "Object";
    }

    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
        App app = new App();
        System.out.println( app.getHim("Brian Goetz"));
        System.out.println( app.getHim((Object) "James Gosling"));
        Object object = "Joshua Bloch";
        System.out.println( app.getHim(object));
    }
}

What does the program above print to its screen?

Google Takeout

The wife asked how to download all the photos in Google Photos at once, to store on her computer for easy viewing and backups and all that stuff.

It seems there's a Google product^tm for that.

Google Takeout^{1 2} made by an engineering team at Google with a funny name³.
