If my memory serves me right, the Google Idol contest is held during the Company picnic at the Shoreline Amphitheater. |
Too bad the other video doesn't have english subtitles. |
I love how when he is singing "I've been ready to launch my product since 2002" and than continuous "at least round here 5 years ain't so long overdue" he displays Google Platypus logo, which is believed to be not-yet-released-to-the-costumers Google product – Gdrive.

Hmm, Platypus makes a re-appearance I see.

WOW, he might just confirmed my post about Platypus. In the live video, he comments the "at least round here 5 years ain't so long overdue" line by adding "cute little Platypus, oh yea!". There's no way it isn't a joke to Googlers about Platypus project being extremely delayed, this could easily by a running joke at Google. |
And the Googley Blues video on YouTube is now marked as private. Does anyone happen to have a copy? |
Marcin, the other video Stefan posted is still public at this time, though.

I know, but that one doesn't have such a good quality of the screens and sound. I really liked the inside jokes there... |
Platypus was intended for public release as much as year ago, but then there was the push away from creating new products. |
Downloading private YouTube videos aren't all that hard. :) http://googlified.com/files/videos/googley-blues.html |
