Judge denies request to stop Google airplane soap

A California judge has declined to issue a ruling against airplane interior designer Leslie Jennings that sought to make him shut up about a failed project for Google executive Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

Details about the deal started surfacing last week, after Jennings spoke to a reporter with the Wall Street Journal. The Google founders were quick to point him to a confidentiality clause in his contract.

Jennings however claims that such clauses are intended to prevent suppliers from adding a celebrity mark-up to their prices - not to lock up details about the Google boy's desire to have hammocks and California king sized beds.

As always, it's just one big misunderstanding that can - even now - be cleared up if Jennings on gets 20 minutes of Google chief Eric Schmidt's time.

But the Google brass is letting its lawyers speak, making sure that every spicy detail of their party plane gets out in the open.


The Google founders last year purchased a Boeing 767-200 like this one that previously served for Qantas.
