Someone was stupid enough to leave a computer terminal running with what I can clearly make out to be Google's future strategic plan.

I'm going to assume this is Buster from Arrested Development, hiding inside of a box.

The last one is actually about quitting smoking.

(You can see references to No Tabaco Day)

It's about quitting smoking...
There is also an employee making off with a ton of snacks: http://goo.gl/maps/MIE9g
I believe that is Brute squad. Which probably makes it a reference to The Princess Bride ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v... )
That reminds me of the recursive elevator sign: http://www.thescrabbled.com/posts/66891-The-Recursive-Escala...
My favorite is the Android figure with some ear protection on:

Near the "Super Secret Strategic PUE Plan" computer there is a shredder with something left out of it [1]. I'm dying to figure out what it says. The paper is clearly a plant since a) the document wasn't fully shredded and b) the shredder isn't near a power outlet.

Looks like shipping barcodes to my untrained eye.
> "Please keep the door closed... Or I'll call the Bruce Squad" I guess that's an inside joke referring to some security guard called Bruce?

It seems to say "Brute", not "Bruce".

The Brute Squad is a reference to The Princess Bride.
That, or Monty Python's Bruce sketch :)

The 'sharp edges' sign came from a Fark PhotoShop contest many years ago.
at least the super secret strategic plan is being displayed in chrome :)
The main joke here being that PUE < 1 is impossible by definition, by the way.
Cold fusion - if anyone can crack it, Google can.

That, or perpetual motion.
