There's another big question that makes Brin and Page squirm: Does Google have a master plan?

He accomplished that by drawing on more than a decade of careful thought about chairs--not just how they ought to look, but how officeworkers lean and squirm and relax while sitting in them. Stumpf's Ergon (1976) and Equa (1984) are the two most important chairs, surely, of the past quarter-century, handsome, generous and deeply elegant. They are also ubiquitous: the Herman Miller company has sold nearly 2 million Ergons and, in less than two years...
