Google Explains What the Floating Barges Off the Coast of San Francisco Are For

"A floating data center? A wild party boat? A barge housing the last remaining dinosaur?  Google has shed more light on just what it plans to do with a pair of floating barges off either coast of the US.

The advertising giant told The Register that its two vessels, officially known as Google Barges, will in fact be designed to serve as nautical showrooms for the company's latest and greatest products.

Why is this important to a Tax Blog?  It's always important where and how data is stored.  Google is the group-leader in how our tax information can and may be protected in the future.  I personally believe that Google will ultimately place sensitive data servers onto the barges in case of an International disaster.
