What's missing here?

So I was staring lovingly looking at the Googleplex in Google Maps yesterday, and I noticed something... something very cool. Something I'd expect every Fortune 100 technology company to have. Can you spot them?

zee Googleplex

So I tapped in 1 Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA to verify a suspicion. My hunch was spot-on:

 
Microsoft Headquarters
I then tapped in 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA, really expecting to reinforce my affections for my other obsession. Regretfully...
 
 Apple Headquarters
I'm actually greatly disappointed in both Microsoft and Apple, but especially Apple, with their recent Green push in manufacturing and packaging.

Give up? Look in the labels for this post.

Not an excuse but just a guess...

Apple & Microsoft built there HQ's a long time before Google did. That doesn't mean it's not time for an upgrade.

The oxygen destroyers and anti-matter weaponry are underground, no?

Duh, solar panels. Solar panels are not profitable and therefore not in the Microsoft mindset and they're not "originally innovative" so they're not in Apple's dictionary either.

Thank goodness for the rich hippies at the Goog!
