It is where I work. The coffee is excellent. The chairs are   comfortable, the computers are wicked fast, and we take a lot of video   game breaks. The humidor is well-stocked with Cohibas, there is a   killer library, and naps are encouraged. The furnishings are handsome,   and the d&eacute;cor is pleasant. There are no cubes. The Managers   sign checks and buy whatever software, computers, books, gadgets,   and video games are desired. Schedules are not set until requirements   are defined, software release dates are only announced after the features   are done and rock solid. There are no suits. No ties. No cubes, and   no timesheets. The work hours are very flexible but long, but I show   up because I have more fun there than anywhere else.<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hmm&#8230; imagine when hard disks were <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmodo.com\/archives\/images\/new_hard_drive.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">this huge<\/a>?
