You already knew it : Google indulge its employees as if they were its own children. This way of managing is definitely daring and innovative.

As a matter of fact, Googlers are supplied with leisure complexes, and many utilities, such as : massage, locker, and weights rooms, washing and drying machines, table tennis, baby-foot, video games, billiard tables, roller hockey twice a week on the parking lot…
These devices aim at improving Googlers’ life at work, and get them more productive as it happens.
These days Google is the talk of the town as it releases a new game named Google Scrabble.
Learning how to play is really easy : as in Classic Scrabble, you capitalize on words’ letters to form new words. Except that here, words are replaced by bits of Google’s algorithm (the one used to determine the rank given to websites).
That game is therefore designed for Google’s SEO engineers in the first place, but you can of course offer it to your 10 years old child if his I.Q is over 860.
Here is a detailed presentation of a game going on (you will for sure get aware of how it can be so so so so so amusing) :
• Mireille starts with the Page Rank part of the algorithm : (1-d) + d (PR(T1) / C(T1)
• Luc, who’s not a lousy player, takes advantage of Mireille’s (1-d) + d (PR(T1) / C(T1) to play right after : + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))
• It’s Henri’s turn (yes, they all are French ;-) . he uses Mireille’s (1-d) to play vertically (en mot compte double !) : F(a*g(t) +(1-d) = a*F(g(t)) + b*F(h(t))²
Ah ah ah, Mireille, Luc and Henri double up with laughter as it was obvious Henri would play this! They will not forget this game until a long time!

“Google Scrabble is even more entertainig with sandwiches ! Don’t you think Henri ?
