14 DAY TRIAL // As you might know, when a new employee joins the Google team, he is required to choose from three workstations based on a Windows, Linux or Mac platform. Although, the Windows operating system and multiple Linux distributions are quite popular and easy to use, most of them are opting for the Mac system able to present new ways to work on the computer. As many of the employees are new to Mac OSX, Scott Knaster, Mac Team Technical Writer, tried to convince the newbies to take a trip to the Apple headquarters located near the search giant's office.
The meeting was arranged so the Mac Team took the trip to Cupertino to talk with Apple's employees and representatives. Scott Knaster, Mac Team Technical Writer, posted a message on the official blog of the company to describe the entire trip and to provide more information about the meeting.
"A few minutes later, as we were enjoying our lunch and chatting with Apple friends, we noticed a slight disturbance in the room, as if all the air had rushed to a single place, over by the salad bar. As you have probably guessed, it was Apple CEO Steve Jobs, grabbing some lunch with Jonathan Ive, Apple's industrial design guru. As the two moved across the room, there was no great commotion -- after all, this probably happens just about every day at Apple -- but our Google group and many other folks stopped eating long enough to follow the two rock stars around the room for awhile," Scott Knaster, Mac Team Technical Writer, sustained in a blog post.
This is not the first time when Google involves into Mac related matters. The company also developed several utilities for Mac OSX such as Gmail Notifier that helps users check their e-mail inbox directly from the desktop of the computer. As the two companies are getting on very well, a partnership to produce a revolutionary online service based on the Mac platform is more evident.
