    I was fortunate enough to visit google's main HQ. They gave mea tour of thei server room. Now, on any server, you expect to have a few daemons. Google seem to have taken this literally. They summoned thousands of daemons from hell, and chained them to keyboards to answer people's queries.

    I was a little shocked by this, but I put my surprise aside. I've worked with a lot of tech companies. I can forgive them their idiosynchrasies. But then we went to their CEO's office. To even meet the CEO, you have to sacrifice a goat, and if you actually want a full length meeting, he demands nothing less that a virgin sacrifice. So I sacrificed someone who was there for a job interview. The COE was pleased with this sacrifice, and I got to see him. To my shock, I saw that the CEO was Satan himself!

    So don't believe the Google "Do No Evil" lies.

      That's ok. Here at google, we have plenty of those running rampant.

    "Some people think it's worth more than Time Warner."

    Isn't that the very definition of worth?

    Value only exists as an expression of people's faith.
    Time Warner is only as valuable as the proletariat families it can feed, capitalist pig-dog!

    I noticed you were modded 'Funny' for your comment. Funny? I think not. It's this sort of justification that lets beliefs like this survive.

    And it's comments like yours that demonstrate that the sarcasm gene is not evenly distributed.

    Poser. I have all the original google day-to-day logo art tattooed on me, up to Halloween of 2004. I then ran out of room, so I had to start tattooing the rest onto my 4 month old son. It would have been nice to let him grow up to see his own unaltered adult face, but my plan to increase square inchage of my tattooable skin by becoming incredibly obese isn't progressing nearly fast enough!

    I see two possibilities for sattelite radio:

    1 - It slowly subsides back into the swamp where fad electronics emerge now and then.

    2 - It becomes like cable TV. You know, that TV that doesn't have commercials because you pay a subscription instead.
