I think part of it is that they mandate that employees work on side projects one day a week. That is a heck of an idea - it keeps employees interested, develops their skills, and sometimes results in innovative projects that are released to the public.

I was just reading that they developed high efficiency power supplies for their servers and are helping get the tech made viable for the general public. They just bought a company that makes a "sandbox" for your internet browser, so if a website tries to install something using a browser vulnerability it doesn't realize it isn't actually installing it.

You've gotta love the "Don't be evil" corporate mantra, although I'm sure they bend that every once in a while.

I wonder how long until they lauch a few sats and have a real time google map or updated pictures daily by itself everyonce in awhile. Common they could even get funding from the government and say its a catch a Bin Laden tool. Have 200 million people looking for him!

And how many of them would stray off elsewhere looking at an X-ray view of numerous strip clubs?

Good idea though.

I have heard Google employees must spend 10% of their week persuing crazy off the wall ideas.
