Google Creators Interviewed by Playboy

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the shaky-ground dept.

Cristiano wrote in to say that an interview with the creators of Google is appearing in the latest Playboy Magazine. That in and of itself is of little note, until one realizes that the issue of Playboy in question is already en route to subscribers and hits newsstands tomorrow, the same day that their IPO auction begins. News.com.com speculates that the SEC may be interested, since this could be a breach of the "quiet period" companies must endure before going public. It may also be nothing but a mistake in scheduling, but it has cast doubts on Google's IPO for some.

      How will they check my disks for errors and repair them?

      Oh, did you mean fuck? The whole fsck/fuck thingy is only funny if your posting is in the context of a disk and where it's an interesting sentance with a potential double-meaninggn where both meanings might apply.

      Otherwise it's stupider than saying f5ck or 5h1t.

    Don't you sense a huge unspoken mutual interest between Google and Playboy?

    involving spectacle makers worldwide. Playboy contains articles, while providing the means to lose your sight sufficiently to be unable to read them.

    there are at least 15 scantily-clad 19 year olds browsing on an iBook looking at the stats from Slashdot.

    "OMG, look at the size of their *logs*!!"
    "Tee-Hee!"
