According to Palo Alto Online, Facebook is moving its headquarters from sunny, beautiful downtown Palo Alto to a dreary, dull section of Stanford Research Park, whose name alone is enough to put one into a catatonic coma.

The new site is a former Hewlett-Packard (HP) building later occupied by HP's instruments-manufacturing spin-off, Agilent. The site is slated for eventual conversion to housing under a 2005 agreement between the city and Stanford University.
