Google has been known to make unbelievable, but TRUE, disclosures on April Fools. It's part of the company's culture.

I've been a big advocate of 12V power systems and direct to battery power for UPS' It doesn't make sense to get a big UPS that brings the 12V up to 110/220V only to have the computers PS bring it back down to 12v/5v/3.3v

Actually, most of my own computers are 12V capable, so I can always patch them into the car's battery if power goes out.

i'd say it's legit
 
Yeah this is a legit article. I was reading it the other day.

I like the 12V battery idea a lot.

I'm more interested in Google's final use for all the Dark Fiber they continue to horde.

I just heard there's a party?! Woot!

I :heart: Google.
I dislike some corporations for things I view as shady and having secret plots.
But Google, they could introduce SkyNet Beta and I'd totally be cool with it, and I'd probably welcome in the Google Overlords. Sadly, that's the truth. 😀 They're just so damn awesome. 🙂
