| We all know that little stunt google pulled on us with their little addicting pac-man google game a couple weeks past. But what we don't realize is all the corrupting damage it has caused to businesses and googlers worldwide. For example, a recent survey by RescueTeam discovered that Google had wasted 4.8 million hours of peoples time in lost productivity. That comes out to a whopping $120,483,800 in lost revenue. I can't believe google would do something so insensitive and time wasting. I mean the nerve of google!

| I liked the first person's comment on the CNET article. "So now the question is, how many people wasted productive time reading this article.  " | 2010-05-28 16:59:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Please tell me your joking? The 5-10 minutes people spent on google pac-man would has been spent on youtube/facebook/twitter/forums take your pick. If working people need downtime they will take it. Do you need a hug? Mabe a quick game of pac-man would chill you out a little? | 2010-05-28 17:04:00 Author: wexfordian  Posts: 1904 |

Oh yes, how insensitive of google to point a gun to everyone's head and force them to play pacman!  Wait wha- Google did not force anyone to play? What do you mean everyone played of their own free will?! Well that's nonsense, people are not able to choose wether to do something or not, that's ridiculous! | 2010-05-28 17:55:00 Author: Silverleon  Posts: 6707 |
| Read this the other day. It has so many flaws. For example they don't factor in how many individuals were too young to be in employment, or unemployed due to other reasons. | 2010-05-28 22:12:00 Author: Killian  Posts: 2575 |
| ..or as Wex points out, would have done something else like come on LBPC for that same 5 - 10 minutes or go grab a soda from the snack bar. | 2010-05-28 22:19:00 Author: jwwphotos  Posts: 11383 |
| Well Google is the big brand so basically they can spend these much money because it was the ceremony for the pacman game. Basically sometimes happiness never seen the money. Same like here. Google didn't think for the money. | 2010-05-29 12:16:00 Author: martine4161  Posts: 4 |
