Google recently built a new HQ in Switzerland. It looks nothing like an internet company office you would imagine.
Take a look:

Tbh the main thing they do is think up schemes on how they can take over the net :o
Wasnt it like they get 1000 apps a day and only 100 get accepted a year or somit? ;s
Indeed it is, we watched a video on it in ICT on the last day :3Quote:

Probably because whereas in a normal job you usually work only so you can afford to live but employees there must actually want to work there, and they all work on laptops I suppose so they can sit in whatever area they want :)Quote:

Exactly how does google earn money?
All their services are free of charge and surely they can't make much from the few adds you get on the right hand side of your screen when you do a search?
*I had to correct youQuote:

Actually the most expensive adds cost up to $1000 per click. Now times that by the number of clicks and the numbers of ads and the number of searches....Quote:
