The Google Boat

Using our inside connections we can exclusively reveal super-secret spy pictures of Google’s latest offering to the world - Google Boat (beta)!

This image was taken as part of the recent Australia Day flyover and, if you look closely, you’ll see that the writing is not on the boat but instead each letter is being held in place by a different person.

Unfortunately our “Sightseeing” cruise liner that was supposed to be to the south failed to make it in time for the photoshoot ;-)

    I’m disapointed in the lack of naked people.
