"Google in recent years has tried more new stuff than any other firm," Enderle said.
A Google spokeswoman declined to comment on "I’m Feeling Lucky." Edwards was 41 when he joined Google, more than a decade older than the typical worker at a company where even now, the median age is about 31.With the help of led lights both a local electrician and a lighting consultant, she has recently installed a $5,000 LED lighting Edwards thought he worked hard at the Mercury News at times, but almost every day was that intense at Google.
