Counting down the seconds before someone does the math and posts a comment saying this actually makes no sense.
Google’s original bid for Motorola was the Euler-Mascheroni constant divided by the distance in meters between Mountain View and Schaumburg, but Sanjay Jha told them to stop fucking around and make it a real number or he’d sell to Microsoft

Things I Read:
Counting down the years before you say something that’s either funny or true.
$1/mi at 2,162 miles via I-80 (as shown on Google Maps, of course) divided by the Constant, times three (for Page, Brinn and Bechtolsheim) = $11.24bn, plus $1.25bn (we’ll call that the Nexus Bonus) = $12.5 bn. See??? It all makes perfect sense.
Brilliant!
(this is not Robert boosting his Internet cred)
Dan, your dosage for the meds is too low. UP THE MEDS, DAN! You’re making ZERO sense these days. ZERO!
Hah, I thought it was funny. What’s with all the negativity in the comments? I guess it’s much easier to be flippant when anonymous.
Sounds like SOMEONE figured out the real dope in that game of rope-a-dope.
Google didn’t pay to advance Android’s prospects – they bought Motorolla to give Android a chance of *staying in the game*.
I get your dry sense of humor, Dan, and I thought this was funny
Way to decipher the page slug, fuckwit.
WordPress. Of course.
The post said meters, not miles…
If your waiting for that from Dan you’ll be waiting a really long time. Best thing to do is what I’m going to, not come back here and give him traffic.
It seems like Dan touched a nerve with everyone. He must be closer to the truth than others want to let on. I have never seen a spread of blog posts refuting and counter refuting over such a trivial assessment.
Dan, the center of Sanjay’s world is San Diego….he just didn’t want to live on Central Time. Although I think the TV/set-top box aspect will ultimately be the most interesting.
Only 16 orders of magnitude off but hey… it was a funny post in any case

I agree…lighten up everyone. Really.
