Strange fact: Google's headquarters in Mountain View is the old campus of Silicon Graphics. When i was there in 2007, you could still see traces of the old SGI logo in certain places.


related strange fact: SGI sold Cray Research's business division to SUN, Oracle bought Sun and now Facebook's headquarter is the old campus of SUN.


It's interesting but not really that strange. How many buildings/campuses in the Bay Area do you think could house companies the size of Google, Facebook, Sun, or SGI?

Random guess: less than 50.
