Google Airplane Grounded - Lawsuits in progress

[Mark R]

Meh.

They should have got one of those Airbus A380s. Then pimped it out like a private jet.

Having a private jet more pimping than Air Force 1 - now that would get heads turning!

The stock holders... I don't know if this is a plane purchased by Google, or by Brin and Page, but if it's the former it is a gross misuse of company funds. *Hoping it's the latter*

No

Mr. Page says he and Mr. Brin bought the plane themselves and will use it for personal travel. He says there's no plan for Google to reimburse the duo for its costs. A Google spokesman says the plane has no formal connection with the company.

I'm glad for them then, although technically the share holders should and do care what Google does with their money, however Brin and Page != Google.

At one point he witnessed a dispute between them over whether Mr. Brin should have a "California king" size bed, he says. Mr. Jennings says Mr. Schmidt stepped in to resolve that by saying, "Sergey, you can have whatever bed you want in your room; Larry, you can have whatever kind of bed you want in your bedroom. Let's move on."

LOL 😀
