A friend of mine catches BART into San Francisco each day. He gets off to catch a company shuttle each morning.

The company he works for – Dolby Labs – has a small white bus that holds 10 or 12 people. Very modest. For the last month since he started this routine he has been watching another bus pull up at the same stop. Very chic, very large, very luxurious, very black. With smoked windows. Like a rock'n'roll tour bus….

After a few weeks he decided to ask one of the geeks in the queue for the black bus which company they worked for. Several of them outright ignored him. Then one, through a mouthful of food told him. Google….

Its a long commute down to the valley. Might as well go in luxury!
