TRY THIS ... keep zooming into the Moon as close as you can...



They must have some pretty quirky people working there.

P.S. Google maps is the absolute greatest!!
WAY better than Yahoo and Mapquest.

http://pages.google.com

A new tool that allows you to host pages (100MB space) and edit them online with a WYSIWYG ajax interface so it's pretty smooth for novice web designers.

Some things to note:

- you get a http://gmail-usernmane.googlepages.com address which might make it easy for spammers or "unsolicited" people from getting to know your email address.

- The HTML generated is not the greatest but it's still better than frontpage

Except when you're locating a town whose location you're unsure of, Google doesn't always show its name, while you're expected to assume it's dead center.

Google a small town [Town, ST] (or Town, PR), and click Google Maps. then click the back button, and click Mapquest.

I'm considering a lot of contract offers in NY and near NYC, and some towns in Jersey are unfamiliar, so I Google them, and experience this issue.

i wouldn't be surprised if they partnered up with linux. they wouldn't just develop their own OS though

Internally, Google uses a modified version of Ubuntu Linux ("Goobuntu") on their desktops.

Googling Google OS, GooOS, or variations of that will yield many results of people's speculations.

tahts funny cuz i totally pulled that last statement outta my ass.

well ok...not out of my ass, but it was an educated guess based on the likelyness of them using Windows, Mac OS or creating their own from scratch.

Google Mars

http://www.google.com/mars/

Google Maps has made a giant leap beyond even the moon to give Googlers their first close up of Mars. You don't get the complete picture, but the locations of pretty much every landing, successful or otherwise ...

Ilyia is working on the Book Search and had some neat stuff to tell us about while we were in NYC a few weeks ago, but that was the Sunday morning and I forget 99% of it.

Life in the Googleplex - Inside Google Headquarters!


TIME's Photo Essay - http://www.time.com/time/photoessay...ogle/index.html



BE YOURSELF
Desktop gizmos and lava lamps express Google's laid-back ethos.


ASK THE HELP DESK
Laptop on the fritz? Google keeps experts on site to fix computers and other digital gadgets.


GOOGLER WITH GOGGLES
A lifeguard sits on duty as an employee works out in one of two swim-in-place pools at Google's headquarters.


GOOGLE GRAFFITI
Two employees break for coffee beside the "idea board," a canvas for playfully grand designs like Google spaceships.


HANGING OUT
Googlers can shoot pool while taking a break in one of several employee lounges.


GOOD-HAIR DAYS
Google contracts with stylists to give its employees cut-rate haircuts.


RULING THE NET
Google employees take an afternoon volley ball break. The corporation's Mountain View campus is at once a flurry of playful activity and creative technological innovation.


MARCHING ON ITS STOMACH
Google is obsessive about food, offering its employees three free gourmet meals a day that can be eaten in a cafeteria adorned by artwork created by Google employees.


KIDS' PLAY
There are toys for employees' children and for the young-at-heart Googlers like this one.


HANDS-ON CARE
The work-weary can unwind with a Google-subsidized professional massage.


DOGS ALLOWED
Googlers are permitted to bring their dogs (but not cats) to the workplace.

Sneaker Pimp

Ahhhh yes...more things to keep you at work and working longer

Cool tho...where's Ilya when you need him?


Posted by Durafei on Mar-30-2006 17:47:

Hehehe.. That seems about right

The massage thing is cool. $30 for a full body massage(company pays the rest). We also get one free as a birthday present

IMHO, the most valuable perk, besides free food, is the free shuttle bus to the city.

^^^ Ilyia what does your desk space look like?!
