We Spent 4,819,352 Hours on Google PAC-MAN

[JMcEntegart]

Google launched it's PAC-MAN Doodle on Friday morning and all of us groaned, "There goes a morning of work." We all assumed our productivity would take a hit, but how many hours did the world spend playing PAC-MAN on Friday?

Kewl. Its not a paid little game

 

[xurwin]

[freename]

35 seconds each?
Imagine how much money could be saved if bathroom breaks were banned!

Stupid statistic is stupid

 

[jryan388]

Even if half of people didn't play it, a lot of us played more than 35 seconds =)

 

[fonzy]

Now get Crysis up and running.

Google effectively helped waste over 7 (effective) lifetimes of 75 years!

....oh well, Youtube is more evil in that sense.

 

[SAL-e]

Who cares! Let me go play one more level.

They are amateurs. I've already wasted more than half of one lifetime, and I'm only one person.

 

[micky_lund]

[wiobin]

I wish I made 25 dollars/hour

 

[mlopinto2k1]

[citation][nom]xurwin[/nom]yeah. its free and fun! FUN i tell you.[/citation]So much for Crysis.[citation][nom]wiobin[/nom]I wish I made 25 dollars/hour[/citation]I used to!

 

[kalogagatya]

[citation][nom]wiobin[/nom]I wish I made 25 dollars/hour[/citation]

i wish i didn't spend 25 dollars/hour on some nights :\

 

[kesda]

On the other hand, if you consider the productivity increase provided by Google in terms of rapid access to information, the $120 million spent on PAC MAN is inconsequential.

I think they are saying that's the average cost of an employee. An employee costs their company more $ per hour than their pay rate.

Well played sir.

HAH! I knew it, and now the markets are tanking, exactly as I predicted. Everything is falling into place. *evil laugh*

What I found funny were the people calling into my shop complaining of the computers being infected, meanwhile we hear the pacman music in the background.

 

[anamaniac]

[citation][nom]Zingam[/nom]Guess what's gonna happen when Doom or Crysis hit their 30th birthday...[/citation]
Crysis in HTML(add ridiculous number here), on the front page of Google after 30 years?
That'd be pimp. How about Crysis Wars though?
