I quickly went thru this whole thread and found a number of postings brought in wrong figures about the number of machine's udsed at google's, although the link given in the original post contained interesting information on just that

Google does not disclose technical details, but estimates of the number of computer servers in its data centers range up to a million.

In figures: 1.000.000 PCs!

Sorry if someone else has clarified this before and I overread. BTW the NY-Times article did not require any log-in yesterday. Today it does. Mysterious. I recall a thread at WW on the statistics of error-probability in large computer-clusters. So my theory is: Hal has taken over and forced Mr Schmidt to buy even more;)
