Some notes:

• Yes, free laundry but only at the HQ. Here in NYC we’d have no need as real city-dwellers use laundry-by-the-pound near our apartment... or we live out in the ‘burbs and have a laundry machine. He also failed to point out that not only are the laundry machines free, but so is the soap.
• Paragraph 4: The haircut van is not free. Plus, that same van (and a bunch of competitors) rolls around to nearly every large office parting lot in silicon valley.
• “the programming hints taped on bathroom walls” -- Yeah, it’s true. New issue every week.
• “upcoming software download called Google Gears” -- Gears is already shipping but only Reader and some third-party apps support it so far.
