Rymer, a vice president at Forrester Research. ?But I could imagine that they would put engineering investment into open office and try to create something eventually.? The market, so far, has been lukewarm to the deal. Google?s (GOOG) stock initially fell but is now back up $2.02 to $312.73 per share.
