sunrat Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 For those of you that missed it in the Computerworld news, Google has posted a gallery of arty photos of it's data centre hardware and locations. Not to be missed, and plan to spend quite a few minutes as there are many photos. I am in awe of the scale of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I was surprised you did not mention the Storm Trooper (and R2D2) guarding the servers: https://maps.google....-81.548184&z=17 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/17/google-stormtrooper-data-center-street-view_n_1974975.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Our data must be safe. These aren't the server racks you're looking for. The most amazing news on that Huff Post page is the people still get RickRolled! I once posted a nasty Rickroll on a forum that made the video browser window move every second or so making it really hard to close. I thought it was hilarious in Linux but it turned out it crashed IE and Windows causing one guy to lose a bunch of unsaved work. I had to apologise and remove it.

Temmu Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 cool google pix! but - where did you get a picture of me and my cat? seriously. our "order" strongly objects to its membership 1. being photographed, and 2. having anyone outside the order know of the foil-mental-safety helmets. pa-lease.

frapper Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I'll bet the Chinese and Iranians are looking too. Probably already have their own set of pics and locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That particular brand of foil does not block cellular frequencies, temmu. You may want to make sure you haven't been chipped...... Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
