Google Announcing That They're Making Floating Stores On Barges Is So Google I Can't Even Stand It








LA TimesAccording to a new report, there will actually be three barges and they will be used as floating retail stores for Google's new Glass eyewear. They will cost a total of $35 million, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which attributed the information to a budget report by Turner Construction Co., which is building the barges. The barges will be stationed in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, the Chronicle says. Each barge will be built out of 80 shipping containers and they'll each feature large sails. "While we have explored many ideas in the past around the barges, our current plan, as we've stated before, is to use them as an interactive space where people can learn about new technology," the Silicon Valley company told the Chronicle. 


Look believe it or not I'm not exactly an expert at making stores that float on barges or trying to sell glasses that you can watch Youtube on, so let's get that out of the way. Will making a store infinitely harder to get to help sell a product? Who knows.  What I do know is that Google is easily the cockiest company on the planet. 

"Oh, you like our simple, colorful logo? Well we're going to change it up literally every day depending on what random person in history that nobody knows did that day! And while we're at it- hop on your grandpa's old kayak and buy our $300 pair of glasses that aren't even prescription!"

What's next, they decide to intrude on Bing's territory and become a website where pre-teen boys can search for pictures of boobs?! C'mon.
