Google's Copernicus Center

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the international-outsourcing-is-for-pansies dept.

Brad Barnich was one of countless readers to note that Google has begun accepting job applications for its new Copernicus data center. I imagine this will eat a sizable portion of their IPO profits, however with this new center not opening until 2007, they at least can take their time!

    Maybe the fact that they have this on their website will convince people that the gmail thing is actually for real?

    the funny thing is they took the time to spell out it was an april fools joke.

    I'm sure someone out there is like "sweet! My resume is gonna be on file for two years with google!"

    Ever hear of the spaghetti tree incident in (I think) Sweden? Now that's a AF joke.

  3. This proves GMail is for real by Pranjal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So this is Google's April Fools day gag, which means GMail is for real. Which is why the major newswires picked it up. Wow 1 GB of email space? Even their website has been updated with terms and conditions.
    Only 1000 users get to test GMail from today. Those lucky bastards.

    I wonder if Google used that domain for internal e-mail prior to the public venture.
