Some pics of my vacation - Android related

I don't know if this really belongs here or not as it is kind of Android related and kind of not. I was in SF for a cousin's wedding. The wedding was about 15 mins from Google's HQ so I decided to go see what I could see. The HQ was closed being Sunday morning and I don't think they give tours anyway so I just drove around the buildings to see what I could see.

I had contented myself with taking pictures of the Google signs outside each building when I stumbled upon the motherlode. Shrill screeches of delight rang from my rented car as I walked around and saw this:

I walked up to the front door and found them locked of course so I started peeking in all the windows like I was a stalker or something. That's when I saw this guy inside the main lobby of the Android building:

Apparently Android has a darker, scarier, side.
 
Cool. I wonder what would have happened if you pointed an iPhone at the building? Android robot would have morphed into gort?

I was going to say you should have taken a panorama shot with your phone, but I see it's on order, so guess you didn't have your phone yet!
 
Actually, all of those pics were taken with my Dinc. It was more a question of getting far enough back. There's a hill that I'm actually standing on and at the very back of to take the first picture. Any further back and you're going down the hill to the parking lot.
 
Did you bang on the door and yell where is our gingerbread? LOL. One place I want to visit to see the tacky lawn ornaments

A googler actually walked in the door while I was up there. I did consider just following the guy in. My fear was that I would be caught and banned from all Google services for life. Then I would have to hang myself somewhere.

I thought about it, but neither of them were speaking English. They were jabbering away at each other in Farsi or something.
