How does Google run their data centers? I remember watching a Q&A with someone at Google trying to recruit kids at a college.

Does this mean they use cheap rack servers with direct-attached storage? How does this work? [more inside]

Does anyone have experience in using ThinApp in a corporate environment? Does it end up being trouble or does it just work? [more inside]
