My favorite line from an interesting profile of Baidu’s Robin Li:

By year-end the company will move to a new headquarters designed to resemble an enormous, long rectangular search box.

An enormous long rectangular building that looks like an <input>? *That’s* how you spend FU money, folks.


I don’t get it. *scratching head*

A search box is just an empty white rectangle, which seems like a less-than-thrilling design for a building. I’m sure it will work in practice, but the concept sounds ridiculous to me.

Thanks for stomping on my joke, though ;)
