Google press day, in Paris

Today, Google is holding its first Press Day in Europe, and it's in Paris. It's not being webcast as not too many Americans watch them in their sleep, but Google Blogoscoped is blogging the event, with pictures.

Apart from Eric Schmidt showing off his iPhone, the highlight:



Marissa (Vice President Search Products & User Experience) is expected to speak right about now. But as Piotr reports, "According to Murphy's law... we have a power outage and Marissa Mayer is doing her presentation without slides ;) WiFi is dead, waiting..." The air con's gone too. What happened was that someone knocked a table upstairs and some vases and glasses of water smashed. This made water come through the ceiling downstairs right above the stage!



Jemima Kiss is blogging the event on our Media blog, without pictures.
