After KPIX 5 reported on Google’s mysterious project on a barge off Treasure Island, reports have surfaced of the tech giant building similar floating structures outside of the Bay Area.
A report appearing in the Portland (Maine) Press Herald showed shipping containers stacked on a barge in Maine – with the structure appearing virtually identical to the Bay Area barge. Also, an unconfirmed report suggested a Google barge is taking shape in New London, Connecticut.
Both the Maine and Bay Area barges are owned by a company called By and Large, reports KPIX 5.
I love the control freak they are interviewing. He probably couldn't run a corner grocery store but he sure loves the power his government job gives him telling others what they can and cannot do in their business. If I were Google I would move it north and away from The Peoples Republic.
ReplyDeleteThey've probably been contracted to the NSA for new floating Guantanamo bases.
ReplyDeleteIs this their Galt's Gulch as I've previously seen them talk about, or is it a tool to scan the topography of the coasts/sea? Who knows.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that those are floating data-centers. They'll use sea water as coolant instead of running expensive air conditioning as they do in regular data-centers. They'll probably connect the data-centers directly to fiber-wire main lines that are laid down on the seabed just off the coast. There will be some autonomous power source on board or a cable connection to the coast. They want to test this idea on a less mission-critical service such as Google Glass before moving their entire business to this kind of data-centers.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bug out boat for elites when TSHTF, duh.....government shutdown was only DELAYED and the DEBT is still GROWING - where would be a safe place to be away while the masses tear each other apart for resources - a floating city!
