woah. Google makes hardware?

[nageov3t]

so I'm walking around my data center this evening, and all of a sudden, I run into this.

it seems Google makes hardware 😉 came as kind of a suprise to me. I've never even heard of it before. seems kinda neat.

edit: it's also very ugly. heh. even uglier than the pic would indicate.

it's for intranet searches. basically google technology in a box you put on your network to crawl it.

What is your job at the datacenter?

Works pretty well, too. They don't allow their customers to peek into the boxes, though.

hardware guy.

I build new servers, deal with them when they crash, and take care of upgrades + minor networking issues.

If you open it you'll let the pigeons out.

Do you have any idea how much of a PITA it is to catch them all?

I'm guessing it would be kinda like trying to get the magic smoke back into a cap...
