(who jumped ship from Google becoming Facebook's COO just last month) . . . . she said she knew " . . . just the guy . . . " but he was at her old rock pile . Le commerce a été accompli . . . . as Carolyn Jung . . . (another "until very recently", Merc's food editor) . . . reports now that Chef Josef Desimone has been spirited off to become the new . . er . . . Facecook . :blush: So . . . . . . happy . . . it seems, very happy . . . . . Sandberg and Desimone blended well at the Googleplex, where an ex-employee said: "Josef was Sheryl's favorite chef at Google . Every time she moved buildings, so did he . " (Must've been his French-fried Snickers bars!) Apparently, though, not everyone is p-o'd at the Google-to-Facebook hop . A health-conscious Googler Naturalist and Tree-hugger says: "Everyone hated his cafes . He had the worst heavy, everything-fried menus . . . . . yuck" :yuck: Let's see if his souffles flop first . :blush: Gotta ask the obvious: will Google retaliate? Did he get to bring his deep fat French fryer too? Would Sergey try to retaliate by hiring away Mark Zuckerberg's personal nose hair trimmer? .	SurferJoe46 (51)

656221	2008-04-06 15:56:00	Ditto lol OK . . . Sheryl Sandberg (ex-Google-ite) went to Facebook, got an office with a view and took a highly prized (or not so highly prized, considering the varied opinions and sources of praise) chef from Google with her . She obviously had some drawing power over him as he had changed buildings with her every time she made an internal Google office change too . (Read between the lines) . The fact that Facebook is the new up-n-coming gorilla with which to be reckoned in the very near future . . . . this shows that Google . . . up to this point . . . . has accepted the insult, taken up the gauntlet and is about to give them a return smack . Maybe . So far Google has looked the other way . . . thinking that Facebook . . . or anyone . . . could never vie for top dog status in the ether-world . What's going on here is just the tip of the iceberg . Google hasn't blinked yet; I don't think they will . This is going to become a battle of the titans soon . Stay tuned .	SurferJoe46 (51)
656222	2008-04-06 21:40:00	Ah. Thanks for the translation Joe! :) IMO it will be some time before Facebook can contend with Google. At this point in time they are miles apart and Facebook are struggling to come up with a revenue model without upsetting their key asset (i.e. their community). What's with the reference to deep fired Mars bars? Have these people got a weight problem? Cheers Andrew	andrew93 (249)

Taking your favourite grease monkey with you though... that's a bit far. Thanks for the update though, it's always fun watching the circus that is silicon valley.	Thebananamonkey (7741)

What's with the reference to deep fired Mars bars? Have these people got a weight problem? Cheers Andrew Prolly the only weight concern they have is their larger than normal hat size . The deep fat fried Mars Bars are so-o-o-o against all the tree-huggers and bulimics that I threw it in to ruffle some feathers . They eschew fat-fried ANYTHING . . and a Mars bar is the total insult . Funny, they don't know a good brown-food-group when they see one . When I eat a taco, burrito or fried food, I want the grease to drip offa my elbows .	SurferJoe46 (51)
