Google will keep "nearly all" of its workforce—around 200,000 employees and contractors—working from home for another year, The Wall Street Journal has reported. Google CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly made the decision last week.

The long timeline gives more certainty for Googlers who are making school and housing decisions for the coming academic year. Previously Google workers were due back in the office in January.

    I had a hard time keeping three teenage kids at home through the summer. Of course, Google has a bigger home than I have, right?

    I think it was Thomas Edison who made that famous quote about Google keeping people at home, but I can't seem to remember it right now.
