Google and Virgin Group reps released the following about their upcoming business partnership:

For thousands of years,

the human race has spread out across the Earth, scaling mountains and plying the oceans, planting crops and building highways, raising skyscrapers and atmospheric CO2 levels, and observing, with tremendous and unflagging enthusiasm, the Biblical injunction to be fruitful and multiply across our world’s every last nook, cranny and subdivision.

An invitation.

Earth has issues, and it’s time humanity got started on a Plan B. So, starting in 2014, Virgin founder Richard Branson and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will be leading hundreds of users on one of the grandest adventures in human history: Project Virgle, the first permanent human colony on Mars.

I will admit, I hastily went through the online questionaire that determines if you are a suitable contender for such a daring job. Then it occured to me… Today is April Fools!

Way to go, Google! You just let down so many neo-republic, socrates reading geeks who were finally going to get laid!

Everyone knows that Google has been at the top of its game when it comes
to internet search and internet advertising. Yahoo, however, has seen a
steady decline in share prices and has exhausted many failed attempts to
inspire improvement and growth within the company. Truth is, when you
are competing against a company such as Google, you are bound to fall
short. There can really only be one player on top.

Microsoft disagrees with this outlook. Just as they did last year,
Microsoft has offered to buy Yahoo for $44.6 billion, which just happens
to be 62% above their closing share price earlier this week.

Because of their steady decline in the past few years, Yahoo would have
to spend upwards of $300 million to refresh the company.

If I were Yahoo, I’d take the money and run! And if I were Microsoft,
I’d buy ‘em up before Google does!
