google will take over the world! seriously, any word on what kind of jobs these will be (i.e., how well paid)?

The scuttlebutt is that it's going to be the headquarters for their AdWords thing (which I know little about) as well as for the (controversial) book digitization thing. (You may remember the U Mich library had volunteered to have its stuff scanned, but there's been some haggling in the courts about copyright.)

They can't pay that badly, you know? They're Google! They have, like, mini-golf and roaming massagers and other such consideration for employees, cuz (the schtick goes) (and may well be true) they value talent and creativity so much they wanna keep 'em happy.
