The types of people that are hired in never leave, and if they do, they move onto do amazing things. The Google culture that the owners work so hard to develop and preserve is the true source of the company's value.

The image below was posted on Google's blog today citing examples of how to properly use the new company name:

Oh, Happy April Fool's.
