Google's Secretive Data Center

valdean wrote in with a NYTimes article about Google which says "On the banks of the windswept Columbia River [in Oregon], Google is working on a secret weapon in its quest to dominate the next generation of Internet computing. But it is hard to keep a secret when it is a computing center as big as two football fields, with twin cooling plants protruding four stories into the sky...' What's the goal of this new complex? Expanding Google's raw computer power. It's one more piece in the Googleplex, the massive global computer network that is estimated to span 25 locations and 450,000 servers.'

    We must stop it now, before...

    [Me thinking] Oh man... Google killed that guy for just revealing it's intentions, which is evil. But, it also hit the submit button for him, thereby causing his death to not be in vain, which was nice. Of course, the poster did unnecessarily use "quotation marks" around the word "brain", which is evil, and deserves death. But he also used the contraction "it's" correctly and didn't misspell sentience, which is good... I guess I don't know what to think... I just hope Google doesn't notice MY extravagant and unnecessary use of quotation marks and ellipsis and kill me... I suppose I'd better fix it before
