That's the first thing I did :)

Lol stuff like PWND dosen't bring up anything, and its funny googling old video games and seeing webpages talking about how amazing they are going to be, and then laughing how bad they sucked.

No youtube! And no DV?
Also check out the CERN website "Where the web was born"
Also lol brings up "Anitas list of links" and "Land O'Lakes" lol!

I love google. If you have ever read about google they use the shittiest PCs possible and they use PCs that most people would have thrown away long ago. What they do is they just get a massive amount of shitty computers to preform tasks that can be replaced and they heavily use load balancing. Its very interesting how they are able to do so much with so little.

well, 10 years ago, a dual PII 300MHz machine /w 512Mb ram wasn't shit
It wasn't super-computer material, granted
but it was decent, off the shelf, server hardware for the time
Bear in mind, Google started out as a research project in Stanford University

plus, that quad processor IBM PowerPC must have been like shit off a shovel

different story now-a-days though
this is just one of Google's data centres today
