The physicist Werner Heisenberg was once asked if he knew where Stanford University was located. "I believe it is on the west coast of the United States, not far from San Francisco. There is also another school nearby, and they steal each other's axes," he replied, referring to Stanford's rivalry with the University of California, Berkeley.

Lucky? Sun, Yahoo, Google, Loopt as a small sample. For god's sake, there is a Sequoia Hall on the map!

Wasn't this also FaceBook headquarters until their very recent move? Or is that across the street?

I was told FaceBook HQ was at 150 University Ave; just down the street: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=165...

But they may have very well leased space in 165 University Ave; I was also told by the time they moved, they had a complex shuttle system to get between their many office spaces in Palo Alto.

Obvious questions: how many other, less successful businesses did this building host?

I don't believe in luck. There is only work ethic and understanding the probabilities.

Slightly aside, but worth noting is that much of the founding team of Danger went on to create a small startup known as Android, later acquired by Google.

"Before Google grew here, PayPal did. Later came Danger, the phone innovator that Microsoft Corp. acquired for $500 million before its founder, Andy Rubin, took a leading role in Google's Android project." - http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-milo6-2010apr06,0,3496...
