Why does everyone want to work at Google? Oh yeah … this is why

Add as a preferred source on Google

Remember the very first time someone mentioned that Google’s headquarters in Mountain View were so awesome, it had an indoor slide?  You probably took a gander at your own cubicle and shook your head in resignation and disgust.  As it turns out, the new Google Tel-Aviv, Israel offices are going to make you just as – if not more – jealous.

Much like the company’s work spaces strewn all over the world, the new Tel-Aviv office has amenities only Googlers can brag about: An indoor slide that connects floors, a state-of-the-art gym, a music room, and so much more.  They even have a Lego room and a rooftop deck with a fantastic view of the Mediterranean Sea.

The genius behind this particular space is thanks to the people over at Camenzind Evolution.  The architectural firm is also responsible for designing other offices for Google, namely those located in Dublin, Moscow, Oslo, Stockholm, and Zurich.  

Known as “the city that never sleeps”, Tel-Aviv is a popular destination for immersing in a rich nightlife and party atmosphere, the biggest reason why it is the fifth-most-visited city in the Middle East and Africa.  It’s also increasingly become a startup hub – you might remember that face recognition company Face.com (recently sold to Facebook) is headquartered there.

A home can be more than meets the eye. If you look behind a bookcase, under a trap door, or down an obscure staircase, there may be more property lurking.

From underground wine cellars to Batcave-like garages, homeowners are designing living spaces with plenty of concealed nooks and crannies to ensure a quick getaway -- or perhaps to simply take their home to the next level. Below are some of the more innovative hidden spaces from around the globe.

10 extravagant holiday light displays that even Tim Taylor would envy
best holiday light displays lighting festival

Everyone knows that there are two ways to truly embody the spirit of Christmas. First, spend tons of money on expensive electronic gifts so that everyone knows you're the cool uncle in the family. Second, erect a glorious light display that shoots your electric bill into the stratosphere, threatens to burn down your entire block, and prevents your next-door neighbors from sleeping for the entire month of December (that's what curtains are for, Steve!).

Unfortunately, we know that most people can't take three weeks off to construct a scale replica of the nativity scene covered in so many flashing bulbs that it looks like baby Jesus is breathing technicolor flames. Luckily, we traveled far and wide (on the internet) to find some of the world's most extravagant Christmas light displays, for your entertainment. These courageous souls braved icy weather, annoyed in-laws, and potential alien attacks to create enormous works of art that are likely to blind Santa's reindeer and send him straight into a snowdrift.
