Google Preparing To Launch G-Town

Posted by timothy on from the owe-my-soul-to-the-company-store dept.

theodp writes "The Mercury News reports that Google's aggressive online growth increasingly has a counterpart in bricks and mortar, with the company's Mountain View HQ mushrooming in the past four years to occupy more than 4 million square feet. And that's just for starters. On Silicon Valley's NASA Ames base, Google is preparing to build a new corporate campus with fitness and day care facilities and — in a first in the valley — employee housing, adding 1.2 million sqare feet to Google's real estate holdings. 'I don't want to say it's the new company town,' said commercial real estate VP Gregory M. Davies of Google's role, 'but it's not far from it.' Presumably, no anti-suicide nets will be needed for this one."

    they must have a ridiculous welfare rate considering the entire town is paid by the government.

    or to look at it another way, the entire city has cushy government jobs

    ur mum's face has an extreme dissociative identity disorder and need to seek help!

    you don't understand that PEOPLE control the USERS OF THE INTERNET WEB SITE CHAT MESSAGE BOARD... or do you just like to hypocritically claim that one person (you referenced "you") is responsible for all of the posts, but you'd rather pretend something else is true... and then you hypocritically and ignorantly diagnose dissociativity upon others. look in the mirror, moron.

    you're an idiot.

    let me know when you stop feeling confused. idiocy is hard to shake.

    "success fucking a tar baby."

    That was a shock. I'm surprised a comment with THAT got rated up at all.

    In case any one is wondering "tarbaby" is a derogative term for a black person. Like Ni*ga only more offensive.
