According to the San Francisco CBS affiliate KPIX, Google will actually use the barge as a party space and an upscale showroom for the company’s Google X projects. Google has yet to comment on the mysterious barge, but KPIX cites “multiple sources” familiar with the matter.
Too bad. A floating data center would have been way cooler.
