Google's barges: The mystery treads water on two coasts | Internet & Media - CNET News

The company has built mysterious four-story structures on barges that are currently in San Francisco Bay and in Portland, Maine's harbor. But neither project is finished, and no work is being done on either one.

Part of the commercial argument for sea-steading is being able to pick your legal jurisdiction by the flag you fly, once you are outside territorial waters.

Obviously we don't know if this is the case, but it is interesting to think about.
 
Step 1: Join tugboat company
Step 2: Learn to walk a tightrope
Step 3: Break into Google's secret floating compound
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!
 
I read that it is going to be like a party boat and they are going to invite people on to it to show off Glass and other stuff.

Tied up or anchored in safe harbors makes more sense. This thing would get pounded in International waters off the coast of Maine. I'm in Maine, and some of the Portland stations reported that a local construction firm is set to be outfitting the one on this coast. I got a few friends who work there and I'm sure I can get some details on what might be going on :1bluewinky:.
 
some friends of mine got hurried out near the dock where this was happening. not so subtle -- the security guys' jackets had the google logo on it!
 
its not a datacenter.

Mystery solved: Google barges are giant floating Google X showrooms | Fox News

Mystery had surrounded a pair of giant barges that appeared at U.S. shores recently and were said to belong to Google, but that mystery has seemingly been solved.

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.

One barge is currently docked at a port in San Francisco and the other is located off the coast of Maine, possibly en route to New York City.
