Google will reportedly move its mysterious hi-tech Barge off the San Francisco Bay within a period of one month.
The barge that was made out of dozens of shipping containers built atop a freight barge will be moving the barge project elsewhere.

Google has apparently decided to move the barge in order to steer clear of penalties that could top out at 30,000 dollars.
