"Google is to acquire product-design startup Gecko Design. The company will be absorbed into the Google X division, the secretive department responsible for projects such as Google Glass, according to Bloomberg.  &amp;quot;This is an incredible opportunity for everyone at Gecko,&amp;quot; writes Gecko president Jacques Gagne in a blog post. &amp;quot;We are very excited and honoured to join Google and work on a variety of cutting edge projects.&amp;quot; Google X was also behind the web giant&amp;#039;s initiative to bring internet connectivity to developing countries via balloons, as well as its driverless cars. Gecko Design has worked with numerous technology companies in the past, including Fitbit and Hewlett Packard. It is yet to be confirmed which Google X projects the Gecko Design team will be assigned to. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
