Google (one of our favorite search engines) has decided to add approximately 100 programmers to its New York office, providing a microscopic little boost to the faltering Manhattan economy. Google's Director of Technology promises that the New York office will be similar to the West Coast offices: "employees on both coasts plan to take field trips to see the film 'The Matrix: Reloaded' this week. And 'we have free M&M's here as well.'"
