Next time you're tempted to attribute some sort of vast conspiracy to Google, remind yourself that somehow an office, where people needed to use wifi, was designed in such a way that the whole thing would obstruct radio propagation, and then it got built, and then Google put workers inside it, and finally they figured out why wifi wasn't working. These are not the masterminds of any vast conspiracy, I promise.

Google’s self-designed office swallows Wi-Fi “like the Bermuda Triangle”

Bad radio propagation means Googlers are making do with Ethernet cables, phone hotspots.

@acarson I started laughing when I saw the story earlier in the day. I remember the Google IO moment when they rolled this thing out with fanfare and to great deal of agilation.
@ppatel I never saw that, but I have to admit that would have made it even funnier.
