Just because large, important chunks of Silicon Valley will play ball with American spies, doesn't mean all the underlings are game. Two security engineers at the company that runs your email inbox are speaking out, and they are using bad words.

If anyone knows where "the creepy line" lies, it's Eric Schmidt. And he says the NSA has crossed it by spying on Google's data centers. "The steps that the organization was willing to do without good judgment to pursue its mission and potentially violate people’s privacy, it’s not OK,” Schmidt told the Wall Street Journal.

This is both the craziest and lamest outcome for the three floating mega-vessels covertly assembled by Google. San Francisco's KPIX 5 news team says the barges will serve as private showrooms and floating party zones for rich clientele.

Whether it's a data center, Google Glass store, or floating stage for an Eric Schmidt orgy on international waters, one thing's for sure about Google's mystery boats: they're creeping everyone out. But an intrepid reporter at the Portland Press Herald checked one out.

Probably a murky area of the law right now, but we're thrilled to see a big first step towards criminalizing face computers.

Perhaps you've heard of Google's puzzling four-story tall barge floating in the San Francisco Bay? Maybe you caught wind of Google's similarly clandestine barge bouying along in Portland Harbor? Well, that's not the way Google wanted it to happen.

CNET's Daniel Terdiman has spun a spooky Nancy Drew adventure about trying to uncover the origins of a "big and mysterious" thing "rising from a floating barge at the end of Treasure Island" that has "Google's fingerprints" all over it.

The latest Android payola stunt is meant for journalists, of course, but if you're in Manhattan next week, why not swing by? Literally anyone with arms can be a blogger. Bring your party pants and a hunger for gratis electronics.

As if the princely perk of being shuttled to and fro to your campus palace weren't enough, free gadgets and job offers have also been laid at the feet of Google employees in Saratoga as they begin their morning commute.

Sergey Brin cheated on his wife—that's sort of not your business, unless you're his wife, in which case, hi Anne, we're sorry! But the disruptive affair was with a subordinate—a choice that could get him in trouble at pretty much any company. But does Google care, at all?

Google's playboy executives didn't just land their planes on NASA property and start chugging Pentagon fuel without permission—first, they had to cozy up with the government.

Time magazine's new cover story is the about the ultimate tech company cage match: GOOGLE VS. DEATH. In Silicon Valley parlance, this mortal coil is a bug, not a feature, and Time gives GOOG pretty generous odds.

Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt are all billionaires, many times over—which you might think disqualifies them from buying cheap vacation gas from the military to keep their private aircraft fueled in government-owned hangars. Incorrect.

The man with one of the most recognizable faces in tech (behind the most recognizable homepage in history) has split from his wife of six years, 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki, AllThingsD reports. Surprise: he's been dating a Google underling.

So you're Google, out there looking to the future, tryna extend the human life span, map every corner of land and sea, generally moon shot-ing all OVER the goddam place. Why bother trying to sell self-driving software to old school auto-makers when you could just design a car yourself?

We've talked plenty about Google's executive chairman, Eric "2 Hot 4 Instagram" Schmidt, and his love-making manse. Today, here's Bill Maris, managing partner at Google Ventures, one of the most powerful tech investment firms in the world, in dayglo drag.

I don't have any problem with Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt's online ogling if his wife doesn't have a problem with it. Do you. But someone must've taken issue, because his Instagram account, bikini babe follower list and all, is deleted. Sort of.

If you're a "normal married dude," who also happens to have a ton of sex on the side, you probably go to a motel or the back of a Jeep, I don't know. But if you're Google's executive chairman, knee deep in it with billions to spend, you have this soundproofed third base Xanadu.

If you're hoping for a job at Google but can't fathom the answer to "How many golf balls can you fit into an airplane?," don't worry—the company is phasing out its notorious brainteasers, because they are meaningless, the New York Times reports.
