Google's Master Plan
The Master Plan has many paths. Some turn to the dark side, and most lead to user happiness…

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.
jurvetson (96 months ago | reply)
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...
Billy The Kid [deleted] (94 months ago | reply)
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.

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 (91 months ago | reply)
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.

It seems that buying a lot of tin foil is not a bad idea, also learning to make some cool hats out of it is a good skill :)

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?)
