Drove down to Mountain View this morning br to check up on my investment br of time, and a ilittlei money br in the Google octopus. br br br Like a friend in a strange country, br the familiar rainbow letters br smiled from the logo br in front of the building. br br Eyes sparkling, br the red-haired receptionist br in the lobby smiled, too. br br 'Is there a display br for the public? ' I asked, br reining in my wonder br and finding some kind of voice. br br 'Do you have a meeting here? ' br she inquired, not quite as many br watts now in the sparkling br of her eyes. br br 'Is this the main lobby? ' I asked. br 'Don't people come here br from all over the world? ' br There had to be more than this. br br 'No, and if you don't br have a meeting here, br I'll have to ask you br to leave! ' said the girl. br br Muttering something br about 'Do no evil', br the famous Google motto, br br I pushed my way out the door, br puzzled how a bonanza company br can be so dumb about public relations.
