Googleplex is the name of Google company headquarters, located in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, near San Francisco.
"Googleplex" is a play on the word "googolplex" as well as "google." The term it is derived from, googolplex, is <math>10^{10^{100}}<math>, or one followed by a googol zeroes.
Googleplex is also the abbreviated name of a very powerful computer in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams:
'And are you not,' said Fook leaning anxiously forward, 'a greater analyst than the Googleplex Star Thinker in the Seventh Galaxy of Light and Ingenuity which can calculate the trajectory of every single dust particle throughout a five-week Dangrabad Beta sand blizzard?'
