Google Purchases Its First Home

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lets-all-crash-on-the-couch dept.

noparkingzone writes "ZDnet is reporting that Google has purchased the garage that the company first called home for an undisclosed sum. The Menlo Park structure was owned by a friend of one of Brin's girlfriends. Leased to Serge and Brin by Susan Wojcicki for around $1,700 per month in 1998, the original Googleplex is intended to be preserved as part of the company's living history."

      No, it's not. This is the kind of crap that I'd expect to see on Digg, not Slashdot.

      Oh, you can go ahead and mod my comment down now. I have the karma points to spare.
