I love it when people are creative and I think the photo below is pretty cool - I mean making Google uncool takes a lot, but it appears that, for now, Facebook is such a cool place to work that it's stealing Google employees who are preferring to work for Facebook cause it's cooler than Google according to TechCrunch (Facebook Stealing Googlers At An Alarming Rate).
"….But Ex-Googler’s inside Facebook are saying that the problem goes further than a few high profile exits caused by vesting stock. Facebook just seems a hell of a lot “sexier” than Google (see Rosenstein’s exit email
). A steady stream of Google employees are making the switch to Facebook, and competition for top college grads is fierce as well. "

That reminds me of an old episode of Star Trek titled "The Way to Eden" where The Enterprise is hijacked by a criminal doctor and his loyal, hippie-like followers who are attempting to find paradise, according to Wikipedia.
In this sense, TechCrunch is confirming that Google is like "Herbert"
:

"….The group refuses to cooperate with Kirk, calling him "Herbert", an insulting reference to his rigid and limited ideals."
While Facebook is likened to "Spock" and is "cool":
"…The group is impressed by Mr. Spock however, who gestures with an oval "symbol of peace" the party makes with raised hands, and speaks of "The One". Believing Spock is on "the level", the group gives Spock more respect and agrees to go with him to sickbay for a medical examination."
But maybe it's not Kirk (Herbert) that is really the symbol of Google, but rather, Dr. Sevrin; if Google were likened to act like Dr. Sevrin (a noted communications and electronics researcher from Tiburon, who specializes in the theories of sonic manipulation) than Facebook is even more likened to the ever cool Mr Spock.
I guess I could carry this analogy further (but it doesn't fit - at least, I'm not sure it fits) and say that Google, like Dr. Sevrin, has a disease (that's not so hard to believe anymore):
"….Dr. Sevrin, who is shown to be a carrier of the Synthecoccus Novae virus, which has been accidentally created by technological society. Sevrin's disease is fatal to anyone who hasn't been vaccinated, but he nonetheless insists that the planet of Eden will somehow "cleanse" him. After interviewing Sevrin, Spock believes him to be clinically insane."
That would imply, if my analogy holds, that Facebook thinks Google is all wet.
Oh well, I'm just having fun with this post - can't you tell?
