Our central location won't hurt either. I will get behind this initiative but only if it include a provision to add running blue lights up the corners of the pyramid like some gamer's modded chassis.

That's a pretty good idea... granted, my city did just rename a street to Google something-or-other (I forget) in an attempt to out-suck-up other locations and I'd LOVE to get it, but that pyramid would be iconic and high-profile. Something along those lines might just win, especially if they went for renewable energy.

Google asks what new business types would become possible given a lot of bandwidth, and you answer "datacenters!" ...

Why does this sort of thing get attention?
