The intense 2 hours contest has ended. We were moved to the Googleplex, the Google India Office in Bangalore.
|
| The office is located in Prestige Sigma (1st and 2nd level) |
In the Googleplex, we have a lunch. The waiter keep asking me to have more food on my plate! Damn... I barely emptied my plate!! The only food over there that I like is the kerupuk and the chicken :P

| In this Googleplex, we have a lunch |
Shortly after lunch, google then start talking (Google Tech Talk). Here Google explains why helding this competition event (you can guess, to recruit more people). They explains about Google Technology (I really impressed when they talk about the Distributed Computing, that is separating the jobs when doing a search). A single search of google, actually involving thousands of computer of cluster. This is very interesting! I wish I had a video camera...

"Most people avoid problems... but we, programmers, like to solve problems :)" Google Presenter (what's his name?)
The presenter said something about Google motto. When Google develop something, they don't think: "Where is the Money?". When they know what they're developing makes the user happy, they know there's money in it :) Coolll! I think this is statement is quite true as I see many google software really2 easy to use and useful but I don't see how it relates to money... (they really2 focus on users need).
