Do u know where till now your search ran in the Google Servers......

Just have a look........

These are both 300 MHz Dual Pentium II Servers with 512MB of RAM. There are 99 G drives between the two machines. The main search engine is running on these. These were donated by Intel.

This is an IBM donated F50 IBM RS6000 with 4 processors

and 512MB of memory. It has 89 G drives internal.

Did u wonder where ur search ran till now.......................................

Water under the bridge(and on the top of it)

Who ever said east is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet? Water Bridge in Germany.... What a feat! Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long. Joining the former east and west Germany by water...take a look!


You might not have thought of such a bridge...

Good news for Google users..

Anticipation is brewing for Google’s big April 1st (April Fools) announcement this year and since GMail was first launched on April 1st, some are expecting Google to make some big changes.

It appears however that Google has already made some tweaks to GMail, in the form of storage space.
Google has updated the GMail code to calculate 5 years into the future, stopping at 3.47 GB.

The Gmail login page updated to reflect new targets for the amount of space each account gets. The counter on that page is always counting up, and you can actually see what it is counting to.
With the new update, here’s the new space targets and how many days until that much space is hit by the counter on the page:

2800MB: Already reached

2835MB: In 18.22 days

2980MB: In 384 days

3125MB: In 749 days

3270MB: In 1114 days

3415MB: In 1479 days

3560MB: In 1845 days
The last target is 3560MB, which is about 3.47GB of space. But that’s over 60 months (5 years) away!

Tech Researchers Calculate Digital Info

A new study that estimates how much digital information is zipping around (hint: a lot) finds that for the first time, there's not enough storage space to hold it all. Good thing we delete some stuff.

The report, assembled by the technology research firm IDC, sought to account for all the ones and zeros that make up photos, videos, e-mails, Web pages, instant messages, phone calls and other digital content cascading through our world today. The researchers assumed that an average digital file gets replicated three times.

Add it all up and IDC determined that the world generated 161 billion gigabytes - 161 exabytes - of digital information last year.

That's like 12 stacks of books that each reach from the Earth to the sun. Or you might think of it as 3 million times the information in all the books ever written, according to IDC. You'd need more than 2 billion of the most capacious iPods on the market to get 161 exabytes.

SO, Isn't it enough for all of us.........
