The Internet giant Google
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google#Google_data_centers>has numerous
facilities
across the United States, on land (*terra firma*), in:
- Mountain View, CA (Google's headquarters
- Manhattan, NYC
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Ann Arbor; MI
- Atlanta, GA
- Austin, TX
- Boulder, CO
- Cambridge, MASS;
- Seattle, WA;
- Reston, VA;
- Washington, DC
So one must wonder why Google has built new facilities ("secret projects")
on water, like the ones on two HUGE barges off the west and east coasts of
the United States. Are we running out of land space in America?

barge]<http://fellowshipofminds.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/google-barge.jpg>*KPIX
5 hired a boat to get an up close view of a barge off Treasure Island
believed to be a secret project by Google.*
Treasure
Island<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Island,_San_Francisco#Military_base>is
a man-made "island" in San Francisco Bay, constructed by the federal
government beginning in 1937 as a naval station that included several
hangars. In 2007, the Navy sold the island to the city of San
Francisco for $108 million as part of a redevelopment project.
KPIX<http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/10/30/coast-guard-issues-statement-on-mysterious-google-barge/>
Channel
5, a CBS affiliate in San Francisco, reports on Oct. 30, 2013, that nearly
a week after three mysterious barges were discovered off Treasure Island in
the San Francisco Bay and in
Maine<http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/tag/google-barge/>,
Google is staying mum about the secret projects and has not responded to
numerous requests for comment.
But KPIX 5 has received comment from the U.S. Coast Guard about the
project, and has obtained details about the barges and who owns them:
*At least three barges have been found, two with container structures on
them, all marked with the letters “BAL”* followed by four numbers. The two
barges located at Treasure Island are identified as BAL0010 and
BAL0001. A similar
barge in Portland,
Maine<http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/10/28/google-reportedly-building-more-floating-structures-outside-bay-area/>is
identified as BAL0011.
According to a
document<http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/10/30/coast-guard-issues-statement-on-mysterious-google-barge/#>provided
to KPIX 5 by the Treasure Island Development Authority, four
tenants lease space at Hangar 3 that sits directly across from the two
mysterious barges. A sign posted inside Hangar 3 orders anyone who is
allowed in to turn over cellphones, cameras, and other recording devices.
One of the tenants of Hangar 3 is called *By and Large or BAL.*
BAL moved in on August 1st. So far, the authority has not provided KPIX
with a copy of the lease to show how much they are paying and how long they
plan to stay.
Last week, tech website
CNET<http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57608585-93/is-google-building-a-hulking-floating-data-center-in-sf-bay/>first
disclosed the barge building and speculated Google might be building
a floating
data<http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/10/30/coast-guard-issues-statement-on-mysterious-google-barge/#>center
to house server banks on the water. Well placed sources told KPIX 5
that the barges are being built and outfitted as retail sales and marketing
centers for Google
Glass<http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/10/25/secret-google-facility-found-floating-on-san-francisco-bay/>,
the tech giant’s wearable computer.
The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) would
need to approve docking the vessel, but building on the barge is subject to
Coast Guard review. The Coast Guard issued a statement only confirming it
is working with the barge’s owners. They did not give any additional
details, saying, “Due to issues of commercial confidentiality, we are
unable to disclose any more information at this time.”
Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting that at least one Coast Guard
employee<http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/10/30/coast-guard-issues-statement-on-mysterious-google-barge/#>had
signed a confidentiality agreement with Google which, according to a
Coast Guard spokesperson, is an “unusual situation that they don’t
typically deal with.”

>From Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal>:
*Baal, also rendered Baʿal (Biblical Hebrew בַּעַל, pronounced [ˈbaʕal]),
is a Northwest Semitic title and honorific meaning "master" or "lord" that
is used for various gods who were patrons of cities in the Levant
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levant> and Asia Minor
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Minor>. [...]*
*Baal Zebub [...] occurs in 2 Kings <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Kings>
1:2–6 as the name of the Philistine god of Ekron
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekron>. [...] Jewish scholars have
interpreted the title of "Lord of Flies" as the Hebrew way of calling Ba'al
a pile of dung, and comparing Ba'al followers to flies.*
*Beelzebub, also Beelzebul, is also identified in the New Testament as
Satan, the "prince of the demons".*
