Take a look inside of some of Google's data centers around the world.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I would like to point you to this one: http://www.google.com/about/datacenters ... #/places/6

it is in one of the buildings to the left of the facility where I was once literally thrown under a bus for training purposes. And by a bus, I mean a Prevost H3-45. Not your little school bus. So I have seen a Google data center live, in person. :cool:


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

What did he die of anyway? It couldn't have been stress related, what with all his happy little trees and happy little brooks. Maybe he had been inhaling to many paint fumes (happy little pigments) or his Afro (happy little follicles) was too tight. Yea, I know...kinda cruel! :twisted:

Was not stress related Goofy. He had Lymphoma. Not an easy road at all. If you've never been with a Lymphoma patient, you have no idea of the horror the person nor the entire family suffers.
