Here's the link to the Wired article by Steven Levy.

If you've never read his book "Hackers" (nothing to do with the movie), it's really interesting!

Great add! A bit long but definitely worth the read for those that want a more indepth view than the article.

From the article...For years Google didn’t share what it was up to. “Our core advantage really was a massive computer network, more massive than probably anyone else’s in the world,” says Jim Reese, who helped set up the company’s servers. “We realized that it might not be in our best interest to let our competitors know.”

Laughable since they want to share everybody elses personal data.

The one thing the article didn't cover was what Google is doing with/in hard drive(s) world. If I find something, I will post a link later.

Yes, Hackers needs to be added to my reading list.

Thanks again.
