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!

    If anyone can do it, I'd suspect Google could. I'd not put it past them to make a serious attempt if they had that kind of capital.

    But, seriosuly, April Fool's Day is the stupidest god damned holiday ever. And we geeks are particularly pathetic at attempting to be "funny" for it. I mean..."come on." -- Jimmy.

    it's new Copernicus data center

    There should be no apostrophe on 'its' in this case. Unless you're trying to say that Google is a new Copernicus data centre (or 'center', as you Americans incorrectly spell it).

    Ooh, I can't wait to get modded down!
