Google's market cap is $350 billion. They're at a point where if they need to woo and wine and dine people into accepting their new supposedly revolutionary product on a party boat, then that's just about the biggest sign of a failure ever. Please tell me where the Google Web Search party boat was? The GMail party boat? How about the Android party boat? The Google Chrome party boat? Did they need a YouTube party boat after they bought YouTube or didn't they need a party boat because YouTube party boated before? If you have a product, make it awesome like any of the above and that should be enough. If the first step to changing society as fundamentally as this is hyped to do, then inviting hipsters and celebrities of the bourgeoisie onto a party boat for some Gatsbying leaves me rather disappointed. Like someone on Ars Technica said: > I guess this is what happens when a company has more money than it has uses for and slips into hedonism. You know what would be cool? If they sailed this thing out to the open sea, and worked together with a company that's laying some transoceanic fibre and tapping into that. And Google might in that way have a data centre in international waters. Would it be useful? Who knows. But it would be a cooler thing to do with a bloody barge than this.
