Google's Master Plan

Evil.

Portal

For John Markoff

Develop I.

Develop AI

Develop A.

Definatley a necessary component of AI.

I knew it! Googlecasino is legit!

absolutely critical. but our t-shirts are still better tho

Crop circles

Orbital Mind Control

I knew it! Or did _they_ know it for me?

huh

weather control. that idea must come out of the new seattle office

GOOGLE OS!

An allusion to the oft-speculated Internet archive allowing search with time as a second dimension.

an Achilles heel, perhaps? their hiring process is nowhere near as quick & decentralized as their development... quite the opposite in fact ;)

The Google Programing Language

Visit India - Lot of engineers already there.

"Space Station"... They have already done this... See comment below....

Hire me..

Table

"Backgound Checks"

Not a table. This is the floor, an extension of the stairs.

Wall

http://www.google.com

Every great plan requires a spy satellite!

It could become real.. Yikes!

HAH! Teleportation! I can't wait!

im scared

Cattle mutilations!!!

I would become a rogue scientist for Google!

The Master Plan has many paths. Some turn to the dark side, and most lead to user happiness… (Text is more readable at full size, or next frame)

I love how hiring software engineers leads to dead ends and all good things come from hiring network engineers, Richard Branson or rouge scientists.

You don't have a pic though of the awesome dynamic globe showing search queries as they come in from around the globe. That's far more amusing then the whiteboard.
Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

Billy: tell us how it goes.

Zachlipton: au contraire. This is the first photo of a 4 panel sequence. The globe is here on panel 4.

They filter the queries that they show (adult language, etc.), so the really funny ones are missing.... ;-)

I can't see the plan for the hovering Googlebot they're developing that'll wake me up humming around my apartment and then, in an almost-convincing-but-still-creepily-syntheti c voice say, "I'm a Googlebot. I'm indexing your life…"

You laugh, you cry...but prehaps Google really could buy out a version of Linux and call it "Google OS"... hell everyone would PAY huge money to go and buy it if "google says so"!

Even if they just rebadged knoppix people would use it...
Posted 47 months ago. ( permalink )

Billy The Kid says:

Google would not have to "buy out" any existing Linux packager. They already operate thier own, re-vamped, souped-up, clusterfied, hyper version of Linux within thier own clusters. I would love to see it available for download, but I just can't see them giving away all that work to competitors and other cluster admins.

this is for your own good says:

Give me a break! Surely the third sub-group of the higher Network Structure would have to link to the Portal via Dev IA to facilitate the Local Server grammer...
or am I missing something ?

jurvetson says:

Well, remember they can fold space.

So many of the links span the hypertorus of the multiverse.

Sure enough, one of the early items on the Master Plan is a "Space Station." I was looking at the Moon last night with a mirror lens, and I found the Google Copernicus Center.... They are hiring.

From the master plan: "Browser" (between "Portal" and "Google OS"). Someone should make a list of all the things that were on the plan back in 2005 and are now real Google products. (Health? Checkout? Portal? Office? Chat? Finance?)

If you zoom in you'll see “Browser” leads to “Google OS” leads to “Network computer”.
