   That was an interesting observation. In defense, I do not see an “April Fool” update on the CNET post.

   Yeah that couldn’t be a prank. Such a long post with all pictures and graphs. Many commenter’s on that post pointed out the same which Andrea said but I still think it could be true. Still, if it was a hoax, then I’m fooled completely.

   I saw that yesterday. Very interesting to see how they are not using standard HP/IBM servers but make their own stuff.

   I don’t think it is a hoax, I have long heard that Google do their own thing.

   At first I had this one down as a hoax but now I’m not so sure, Google do have a long history of going about things in their own way so it is not unreasonable to believe that they carry this ethos over to the design of their server farms. Either way it’s an interesting read, thanks for the heads-up.
