Tech firm on show creates division using .xyz domain name.

The .XYZ domain name was featured on HBO’s Silicon Valley last night.

A big tech firm featured in the show, Hooli, creates a fresh experimental division for moonshot projects called Hooli XYZ, hosted at Hooli.xyz.

The show created a website on Hooli.xyz.

The site states:

HooliXYZ = who? A select team of “XYZeniuses.”

It also list a bunch of the projects Hooli XYZ will work on:

Self-driving cars? Flying cars? Self-flying cars? A space elevator? A cure for the AIDS virus? A non-polluting engine that runs on the AIDS virus? Are these things even possible?

Well…at HooliXYZ, we are in active discussions regarding the long-term feasibility of these, as well as many other projects
