Google employees rock out to ... 360 dashboard?

In today's edition of what's wrong with this picture, we present to you a "candid" photograph of a few Google Zurich employees taking some time off from their Googling stresses in the company's Guitar Hero III lounge. So, what's wrong with the picture? (begin obnoxiously long Jeopardy thinking music ...) Time's up! The problem with this candid photo is that it really isn't all that candid, it's actually very staged. The GHIII intensity seen in the Google workers' eyes is actually the result of playing the Xbox 360 dashboard. Yup, on the screen to the left you can see exactly what they see. No intense GHIII face-off, it's just the 360's dash. Staged photos FTL ...

I'm about to blow all of your minds. There are TWO projectors, and two screens. We can't see what is on the other screen, thus it could be a second Xbox 360 with GHIII. Oops?

I think bannaboat is right.

There are 2 projectors and 2 screens.

2 projectors FTW. You can actually see the light from the 2nd projector and tell that it's on. Nice conclusion jump though.

After seeing the picture blown up outside the RSS reader, yeah, it seems like this is just a PR pic and no one thought they'd be able to see the dasboard. Still it's no big deal.

Ejab said...

Thats the right thing to do, I switched from gmail to live mail and forwarded every letter sent to my gmail to live mail, dont plan on going back.

@AnOffDay: I LOLed, then I saw Ejab's comment and I actually realised that I do, in fact, use both gmail and Live mail - both with their advantages and disadvantages.

My favourite thing about Live being that I can open it just like I would Windows Live messenger, they have an app for it now (kinda like outlook, but more closed and concentrated - simple, if you will)

Ok now it looks like I was just advertising Microsoft and their stuff.. erm.. M$ suX0r!! :D

...Or they are just rocking out to music, which if you actually own a 360 you know you can do from anywhere via the guide. Ever hear of air guitar?

Jumping to conclusions FTL

Roto13 said...

So explain the Guitar Hero controller.

Ejab said...

Air guitar with a gh3 guitar, to the music on the dashboard when you have gh3 waiting in the disk tray? Dumbest shit ive heard today jump off googles balls.

The case for them doesn't look very good, but to give them the benefit of the doubt: there's another screen there that we can't see. It looks like they're watching the 360 dash, but MAYBE they're playing on the other screen.

Highly doubtful, but possible.

Nevermind, I saw the enlarged pic at the link. They're total fakers.

4-20-2008 @ 10:17PM

Ibrahim Hyder said...

Actually, we can see the other screen, and it is blank.

Wait for it.....GATORADE!!!

Maybe it's on the other projector.....nope, they're rocking out to the dashboard.
