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!

    Come on, please give us at least _one_ interesting story that is not an obvious April-fools day joke. This Google-story has been reported with links already several times on /.

    I'll take a story on a new kernel, even a BSD article. Anyhing!

    Now, would Google have been able to be this kewl if they had gone public?

    Of course not.

    Everybody knows that on the day of IPO, a company is required to trade in their human souls for "professional" corporate-drone modules.

    A sense of humor is a liability; it's much safer to offend no one by pandering to the lowest common denominator, and shareholders love the corporate monotone almost as much as they love short-sighted profits.
