Seems they are sharing a suite with WinMagic?

Moving their data collection off shore in case congress does pass a law forbidding them to spy on us ...

I won't post a whole new thread for this, but it's solved now. See the link for the full article.

Mystery solved: Google barges are giant floating Google X showrooms

According to a report from CBS News’ San Francisco affiliate KPIX, the barges are floating luxury showrooms for Google X, Google’s top-secret lab that works on various unconventional projects such as Google Glass.

The barges will be invite-only according to the report, and they will feature multiple product showcase floors as well as a party deck equipped with “bars, lanais and other comforts so Google can fete its upscale customers.”

KPIX says the showroom floors consist of standard 40-foot shipping containers that can be swapped out. This will also make the showrooms portable, the report said, so that Google can place them on trucks or rail cars and transport them anywhere for a local showcase.

No. It's not solved. Lol, you're too easy.

Until Google or a Google employee actually has a definitive comment on the matter, everything you hear is all speculation.


Lol... 'Solved'

Yeah it's not solved yet, but we do know it has something to do with Google Glass.

They have more than this one. It's to keep the internet up and running during the coming Global Zombie Apocalypse.

Lol, no you don't... Again, it's 100% speculation on everyone's part until Google makes a comment about it, first hand.

So not sure if posted but there are others.

story

(PORTLAND, Maine) — A four-story building being transported on a barge was scheduled to arrive here Thursday amid speculation over the structure's purpose and its ultimate destination, the Portland Press Herald reported. The barge, escorted by the tugboat Rowan W. McAllister, left New London, Conn., on Wednesday. Cianbro, a Maine-based construction company, is expected to outfit the structure with "a substantial amount of technology" while it is in Portland.

I would bet there are many others, maybe world wide.
How many can we find?

New laws on sales tax on the net lately.
If the servers are off shore, maybe 3 miles like the gambling on cruise ships then do you avoid having to pay sales tax?

That I would like!

Well, I only found the 2 of them but I would bet there are plenty more...
Could you some help, anyone live near a port?
Have you seen one of these barges?
Anyone build one?

Just read that Turner Construction is undertaking the build of this barge. The same company that some people here have insinuated were responsible for the 9/11 world trade center controlled demolition. Not saying saying that I agree, but it does make you think.

if i had to guess, given the location of the barge being a VERY secure site, i would have to believe that is indeed the data collection point for one government agency. A lot of major datacenters in the SF area and what better place to store secret/confidental data than on a barge in the middle of a icy bay?

I'm fairly certain the USCG has a station at treasure island and they frequently patrol the bay aswell as the barge being monitored 24/7.



Who knows, i could be wrong. that google barge might just serve the purpose listed by the investers...

When it's done, the barge's backers say, the 50-foot-tall, 250-foot-long structure made of recycled shipping containers will be flanked by sails "reminiscent of fish fins, which will remind visitors that they are on a seaworthy vessel."

Yeah why not?
