Wanted to provide a correction. Symantic did not acquire Verisign but Veritas Software. Verisign is still a public company VRSN. Veritas had the HQ in Mountain View.

Nope, wrong on the correction. Verisign was originally headquartered in those buildings in MV. They had other buildings too--they were over on Rengstorff near Middlefield for one. Verisign sold its trust and authentication division to Symantec and then relocated the HQ to Virginia where its other businesses operated.
Before Verisign, those buildings on Middlefield were once Cisco and before that they were Synoptics.
I think the council should have just scrapped the approval and said "start over". This has become ridiculous. A deadline is indeed a deadline.

Made even sillier given that Symantec is spinning out the business unit that was once Veritas.

Hi, I stand corrected... RE Veritas Spin Out, I think that is current thinking, it was a bad merger.
