Google admits that they have a problem with storing the world's information

Google CEO admits - "We have a huge machine crisis - those machines are full".

I was reading the New York Times article Microsoft and Google Set to Wage Arms Race [nytimes.com] and there was paragraph that caught my eye on page 2 that quoted Eric Schmidt (Google CEO) admitting that they have problems with being able to store more web site information because their "machines are full" (see page 2 of NYT article).

I am a webmaster who has had problems with getting / keeping my webpages indexed by Google. I follow Google's guidelines to the letter and I have not practiced any blackhat seo techniques.

Here are some problems I have been having;

1. Established websites having 95%+ pages dropped from Google's index for no reason.
2. New webpages being published on established websites not being indexed (pages that were launched as long as 6-8 weeks ago).
3. New websites being launched and not showing up in serps (as long as 12 months).

We're all well aware that Google has algo problems handling simple directives such as 301 and 302 redirects, duplicate indexing of www and non-www webpages, canonical issues, etc.

Does anybody think that Google's "huge machine crisis" has anything to do with any of the problems I mentioned above?

With all the conjecture over hardware requirements and their pitfalls, it might be of interest to get the straight dope right from the horse's mouth, to butcher a metaphor.
