I have been looking into the supposed Google barges and they seem to make less and less sense. The popular story is they are going to be floating showrooms/date centers for Google Glass...but here is what makes me doubt that.
1. they are horrible ugly. Everything Google does, especially when it comes to marketing is about aesthetics. Look at their corporate HQ.
Is this a company that is going to use these to promote it's biggest product launch ever?
2. Why don't they match?
Wouldn't you think they would match...or at least share a theme? they look nothing alike, but are going to serve the same purpose for Google on each coast? This leads to the third point...what they do look like...
3. This looks a lot like the "Google" barges...
This is an NYC prison barge...used to house the overflow from Rikers Prison... Does it look like something you would want to buy Computer goods out of?
Just tossing it out...sorry if it's a Dupe, but at least I used lots of pictures...haha
