Sun's main campus is at the entrance to the Dumbarton Bridge. 10 minutes is pushing it, but not much (midday).

Now back to Google...

and replace MS.
I would rather see Google in numero uno than MS who have shown that they have no moral bone in their body.

Google the OS of the Internet.
Windows the OS for PCs.

Who has the bigger vision?

Pehong's Folly at Pacific Shores makes Borland look smart
by September 28, 2005 9:38 PM PDT
Pehong's Folly at Pacific Shores along with some very WRONG business ideas was the ULTIMATE in WRONG WAY real estate bets. Pehong's BVSN signed up for three new buildings at Pacific Shores and had to buy out the 10 year leases with nearly all its cash, then finally get taken under for 84 cents after a 9:1 reverse split. Pehong makes Borland look smart.

I think someone telling us about a Search engine where "we the People" affect the search results rather than machines, is an extremelly valuable information. Unless of course you are a Google share holder or otherwise brain washed by Google or Yahoo PR machine.

Add to the list of Campus = failure
by webdev511 September 29, 2005 12:34 PM PDT
Ariba next to the blue cube, cut 2k staff before they even moved. Never occupied more than 1 and a half buildings, and now only occupy 3 floors in one building.
S3 (Exodus moved in there after S3 bit it)
BayNetworks, well that was really a buyout, not an utter and complete failure.
Commerce One in Walnut Creek, and far too many other see thru buildings on the 680 corridor between Walnut Creek and Pleasenton.

What are some others?
