  • rusty_g, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is funny stuff...
  • tysonhy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting and in some way, weird. I guess that's Google's Thing.
  • zone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nice tour. is there more? :D
  • dude3609, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I live about 50 miles from there.. And I do have serious plans on getting into programming and things. :)
    The more I see these kind of videos of google, the more it encourages me to learn more..
  • riddlebox, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7The ABC guy is so pissed that ABC treats him like *****....and hes a ***** tool anyways.
  • MarcTheLad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Playing with the toys waiting for software to compile. Fun.
  • relinquish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats it. I've gotta work for google :)

    +digg for the free toys
  • gmacster, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7Bob Woodruff is an *****
  • godmode, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1looks like a fun place, but that Woodruff guy reminds me of Steve Carell's character in the Office.
  • Mongoose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't know who Bob Woodruff is, but I now dislike him. However, very cool video. +Digg
  • Alphabet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1nice, but they should have picked another guy to do it. That bob woodruff guy made it kinda boring to watch
  • teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1he was at Google this morning shooting this i guess. saw him there this morning talking about the Google VS USA thing
  • Cryptkeeper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6wow, I can't believe this reporter, he seems, very (for lack of a better word) Superior, almost eccentric (sorry, having one of those days where i can't seem to express myself) he walks into the guys office, and starts blasting him on "oh really, this HELPS you, it HELPS you be more PRODUCTIVE? what are you? a freaking CHILD? this company is stupid, i don't see how it can work"

    the reporter seems (in my opinion) like he hates his job, and is just doing it for the sake of getting paid.

    maybe if he had more toys in his office.... ;)
  • mistajon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Man, that world map with the google traffic thing is AWESOME! I want one.
  • teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wonder if Bob Woodruff knows what means though. He really did seem like a fish out of water.
  • mancat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4ABC fratboy reporter Bob Woodruff visits Google, makes ass of self. News at 11.
  • VipeNess, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0dope... website video not loading...
  • VipeNess, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0dope.. works now
  • CrazyAntal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"I don't know who Bob Woodruff is, but I now dislike him."

    I'm with you-- what a painfully boring tool!
  • cheztir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2holy crap. free food, fun crap in your office, assuming very nice workstations, watching the earth monitor for about an hour. now thats life.
  • tawker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Google has some nice policies.

    I like Google
  • Xtrem3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That Bob Woodruff guy was a real jerk, making fun of that guys stuff in his office...
  • bahaal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice presentation.The anchor sounds sarcastic at points when saying good luck and yet it all points to being envious ;) Go GOOGLE :-)
  • SilentBobSC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It just goes to prove that many out there just don't "get" geek culture... It's far too alien for them....but I'll $$ money that Woodruff is arguing with his boss about why he can't have a Tower of Chaos in his lil box-with a view...

    SB
  • OmarNYC, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I want to work at Google
  • oxymor00n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I can't get this video to work. Linux/FF 1.5.. When I right-click on the movie it says Disney FSO ver9.something no stream.
    Any ideas?
  • DullesGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm more for the scooter around the office, myself.
  • Hachi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There was a video on the BBC a few days ago covering some more serious issues with Google. Surprised it wasn't dugg more, http://digg.com/technology/The_world_according_to_Google_-_BBC_Video
  • alexbahr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0this is starting to make working at arby's seem kind of lame, no?
  • mancat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Captain of the Football team at the Dead concert."

    Hahah. Excellent analogy for Bob.
  • gregpalmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bob Woodruff appears to be the biggest fool on TV.
  • tastyterrorist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Google > *
  • joeplayer91, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0better then boring ass intel here in hillsboro
  • speaker219, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that reporter is stupid
  • Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wow, just amazing....great company!!!!!!!!!!
  • Raystream, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yikes! When I first started watching it I thought Bob Woodruff was joking around. But wowsers... what a Jerk!!!! I am surprised no one punched him. He acted as if he was talking to children!
  • awfulshot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"I don't know who Bob Woodruff is, but I now dislike him."

    i totally agree, the video was mildly interesting though
  • eltraen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ditto the Steve Carell reference. Bob Woodruff seemed annoyed that Google works the way it does. Maybe he had to seem condescending because of the enormous amount of smarts at Google. It's like a smarts singularity.
  • ween, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2great video about google. i have to agree that the bob guy was a tool. you could just hear the contempt and disdain oozing out of him
  • gotamd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"We don't need adult supervision"

    Oh really?
  • Bullsnot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man I hope some high level people a ABC read these comments. Seems everyone who has seen it has the same opinion.rnGoogle = Cool company to work forrnBob Woodruff = putz.
  • liquidice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I liked when Wooddruff was like, "This is how they get around, scooters. I don't even know how to ride one of these,"

    What an idiot...you get on, and press the go button or whatever. It's not that hard Bob.
  • Anth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hah.

    I would have said "Hey Bob, is Disney's stock valued at $450? I don't think it is. So until then, shut your mouth."
  • dbspin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This guy is just an heroic asshat. Makes me truly glad to live in Europe where our news is a tad (just a tad mind you) less dominated by low brow mouth breathing power suited coke clowns.
  • antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My employer has this too! Geeks and nerds rule!
  • arunforce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Umm, they obviously don't take use of the free haircuts. >.>
    Some major geeks, but it would be lots of fun.

    I wonder if they are going to add another level to teh Google PLEX!
  • Killerah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That was cool, I love the free food part.
  • antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn, I love that globe with statistics. Google should put that on the Web! :)
  • roflcpt3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats google for you
  • esac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I've worked at MS for almost 10 years now, and life used to be like that at Microsoft as well. Even the free food, although it wasn't a policy, we were given free meal cards all of the time, especially if we put in the extra work and time. I still get those cards, but more like once every 2 months now instead of 3 times a week.

    Every Friday we have a beer party in my office, all paid for by work. About twice a month we have a huge party in the cafeteria, beer, wine, food, entertainment.

    The soda/coffee/tea/milk/juice is always free. Life is good.

    But I seriously see google cutting these things in the future just like MS did. Nobody can be on top forever.
