It's not quite the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, but Googleplex Sydney is nonetheless an intriguing insight into the Google mindset.
A few years back, we had a look inside Googleplex London and after today's press conference to launch an updated version of the local Google Maps site, we took a look around Google's Sydney office. Although we were only allowed to have a gander in the cafe and reception areas, our interest in the main Googleplex has once again piqued.
In the eating area there are some comfy looking sofas. On the coffee table is an assortment of games, including chess and Monopoly, to help Google employees unwind. Tucked away in the far left corner are guitars for Guitar Hero. We're sure, though, that CNET Networks Australia's resident Guitar Heroes would kick the Googlers' butts.
