Google and the new punk era of IT

Google and the new punk era of IT: "Google recently shocked the IT world by revealing that it actually builds its own servers, a strategy delivering economic advantage over its competitors, and leaving corporate IT departments in the dust. The technology press was full of the industry's reaction, chiding Google and reminding us that conventional wisdom is that traditional server companies like Dell, have the unbeatable advantages of economies of scale and manufacturing know-how. Turns out that thinking is plain wrong.

The capital cost of a server when spread over its lifetime is small compared to the cost of power consumption, and associated cooling. Google, which makes more money than God it seems, does so by being smart enough to notice things like that. It turns out that in building their own servers, they actually pay a premium for power units, that run cheap and cool. Google have been banking that advantage from the beginning, when money was tight and their business was building."

Now I, dilu, will add my thoughts to the Genesis (I found its original text using Google :P):
"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he thought that everything he made should be able to be located easily.

And on the second monday God said, Let there be Google: and there was Google, the sibling of light and the source of all knowledge. (illuminator :P)

And God searched with Google and he found everything he had created; and God blessed Google and he sanctified it: because that with it everyone can see all the divine work which he had made."

Omg I think that is the truth :P
