This comes on the heels of Schmidt's most recent email innovation, as published by Time [1]:
> If you get something you think you may want to recall later, forward it to yourself along with a few keywords that describe its content.
> This isn’t just handy for emails, but important documents too. Jonathan scans his family’s passports, licenses, and health insurance cards and emails them to himself along with descriptive keywords.
This is so horrible and wrong - and now he holes himself up in a make-believe position at the Pentagon? Figures...

- benevol 11y agoTranslation: "If you have private data, please put it on our servers so we can add it to our internal profile we have on you." This is surreal.
- morsch 11y agoThe gallery ("See Inside Google's New York City Office") in that article is hilarious. Conference rooms with themes such as "Subway" (featuring subway map wallpaper and a decorative pipe), "Apartment" (wacky furniture and wallstickers with household appliances, 'for those looking to “work from home” at work') and "Broadway" (red carpet, red curtains, lots of velvet). Build-your-own desks, with as much customisation as you can do in your 2 m2 cubicle. A steel slide connecting the two lounge levels! And, my favorite: 'A green themed micro kitchen emphasizes Google's commitment to sustainability.'
- mturmon 11y agoNothing says "commitment to sustainability" to me more than green paint, and a kitchen stool with a segment from a tree trunk glued onto the top. The top-hat chandeliers in the "library", along with the faux-necktie armchair ornaments, are another clownish touch.
