It will not have the neat Google Winter Wonderlab retail shops being placed in a few select cities this year. Yes it's a giant marketing bubble for their laptops and tablets, but it looks so neat! You can make a slow motion video in the giant snow globe! Well, maybe some local tech company will be inspired by this idea and do it themselves. Please?
