I have figured out the real reason for the [Google bosses visiting NZ over xmas](http://www.stuff.co.nz/3928957a28.html?ref=vaughan.ai), it is all in the “[Google Master Plan](http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdibona/sets/72157594390422837/detail/?ref=vaughan.ai)”. If you study the whiteboard diagram you can see that “buy New Zealand” is a crucial step, before “Robots that build other robots” and “the matrix”. Nice to know we are a piece of the machine.
