She should be embarrassed
Or she could just say, "I was wrong". Seems like those three words are so hard for most humans to say.

They can put a Google logo on the South side, and I'd be fine with it, but if they interrupt the western face that'd be upsetting

I can agree with that.

However, if they have some fancy digital display that can light up the entire sail with text, images, videos, etc., a la Times Square, that could be cool, too... I just don't want a big G on it to break up its sleek appearance.

Great great pics! I can really envision the final product from them. Couldn't help but notice all the weed gunk in the lake. Also, the train bridge has some decent decals for a change.

First and foremost, I really like this tower, but that said, it is one wonky building, at least from that angle.
