The Master Plan has many paths. Some turn to the dark side of Skynet, and most lead to user happiness…

  1. I love how hiring software engineers leads to dead ends and all good things come from hiring network engineers, Richard Branson or rouge scientists.

  2. Google OS! Oh, and crop circles.

  3. SJ: Which Google building did you see this in?

  4. Bldg 43, first floor.

  5. been there, seen that 😉

  6. You don’t have a pic though of the awesome dynamic globe showing search queries as they come in from around the globe. That’s far more amusing then the whiteboard.

  7. Billy: tell us how it goes.

    Zachlipton: au contraire. This is the first photo of a 4 panel sequence. The globe is here on panel 4.

    They filter the queries that they show (adult language, etc.), so the really funny ones are missing…. 😉

  8. I can’t see the plan for the hovering Googlebot they’re developing that’ll wake me up humming around my apartment and then, in an almost-convincing-but-still-creepily-synthetic voice say, "I’m a Googlebot. I’m indexing your life…"

  9. umm… lo.. would the world stop turning if i google searched for this image..? lol..

  10. Can’t wait to show this to the folks at work (Symantec-Veritas) . . . they always laugh at me when I do this on the white boards there. Vindication is sweet!!

  11. re steve jackson: bing back the Metaverse!

    imho MOO has yet to be topped wrt collaborative netowrked content damangleovpment catbuttwrangleware

  12. Congratulations! This image is one of Flickr’s Most Interesting photos for 25 June 2005. Would you please add it to the Interestingness pool? It will be a great addition!

    (Interestingness is a cool new Flickr feature. About Interestingness)

  13. You laugh, you cry…but prehaps Google really could buy out a version of Linux and call it "Google OS"… hell everyone would PAY huge money to go and buy it if "google says so"!

    Even if they just rebadged knoppix people would use it…

  14. Google would not have to "buy out" any existing Linux packager. They already operate thier own, re-vamped, souped-up, clusterfied, hyper version of Linux within thier own clusters. I would love to see it available for download, but I just can’t see them giving away all that work to competitors and other cluster admins.

  15. Give me a break! Surely the third sub-group of the higher Network Structure would have to link to the Portal via Dev IA to facilitate the Local Server grammer…
    or am I missing something ?

  16. Well, remember they can fold space.

    So many of the links span the hypertorus of the multiverse.

  17. i know u alwayz keep me company @ da XK views groups
    :p
    but WTF almost 50K on this1!
    & without t&a!

  18. heh… these are up there….
    Warning The Incredible Elastigirl Olympus Stylus HALLE's Eye Making a Zebra My, that's a big rocket

  19. damn it, i keep forgoting about the folding space thing.
    now i feel really stupid – it gets me every single time!

  20. WRT has a short article about the process of adding notes to this diagram.

  21. Only 50.000 vues for that?people don’t know what they are missing!

  22. Sure enough, one of the early items on the Master Plan is a "Space Station." I was looking at the Moon last night with a mirror lens, and I found the Google Copernicus Center…. They are hiring.

  23. Somewhere, there should be a spot "take over the world." Remember the Pinky and the Brain skits? Yeah. =)

  24. Hello all, Im new here please check out my pics and give me your comments. Thanks, Snog

  25. How they’ll rule the world?
    ¥€$

  26. i wish "background checks" wasn’t in the list of services…. er i mean hee woo ha ha ha

  27. It seems that buying a lot of tin foil is not a bad idea, also learning to make some cool hats out of it is a good skill 🙂

    Orbital mind control ftw! 🙂

  28. And others it is dense seriousness?

  29. surely somewhere, it says "flush the remains of yahoo down the toilet"

  30. Hi, I’m an admin for a group called One Hundred Thousand Club (100,000 Photostream Views), and we’d love to have your photo added to the group.

    …and feel free to post some of your best shots and join the group if you have time. Thanx.

  31. So THAT’S what the plan is. Thanks so much for sharing.

  32. Oh, he’s an arm full…

    Richard Branson Retrospectacle

  37. From the master plan: "Browser" (between "Portal" and "Google OS"). Someone should make a list of all the things that were on the plan back in 2005 and are now real Google products. (Health? Checkout? Portal? Office? Chat? Finance?)

  38. yeah, some people thought it was a joke…

  39. yeah chaizilla, i believe public background check won’t be there. lolz!
