Google has given a rare glimpse inside the vast data centres around the globe that power its services.

That's interesting

[MartyG]

Google is genius and evil all rolled together in one giant Cat-V cable.

[Empty Spaces]

Wow, that's huge! Still awesome. :)

[Apollo.]

I'm not remotely into computers, but that is really cool!

[Mortal Coil]

That's crazy, thanks for sharing!

[Magus]

So futuristic, man.

[The Mockingjay]

Wow, so big. Scary almost.
