All I really see at Google itself is this.

"Google runs on a unique combination of advanced hardware and software. The speed you experience can be attributed in part to the efficiency of our search algorithm and partly to the thousands of low cost PC's we've networked together to create a superfast search engine."

Ahem... Ever think of googling for the info??? 😉

You know that most of the internal google network uses the TCP over avion carrier protocol? Those pidgeons are good for more than page ranking.

That's why Google rocks; cause they're not afraid to be funny.
