Google's New Pizza Initiative Campaign
Come take advantage of Google's new pizza campaign initiative aiding
poor CS students who work late!
Wondering why Google is doing this? Here's a note from the source:
If folks are wondering why Google is doing this..basically the greatest thing we get out of this is "good will"! We have several engineers here who clearly remember what it was like to be a hard-working CS student, pulling all nighters and working diligently to meet a deadline or finish a project. In typical Google fashion, we like to feed and nourish those hungry bellies and brain cells and say Good Luck and Keep Up The Great Work!
Need help in decifering today's comic?
