[...] This one may be more prescient, or else a coincidence… Yesterday on this site and on related Twitter accounts, we spoke a great deal about clouds, cloud computing, cloud shamanism, cloud warfare, etc and we even spoke about divining the future. Today, we see as number 17 in the top 100 USA Google trends, “lenticular clouds.” So this is a direct hit, since I had downloaded two photos of lenticular clouds at that time to use in upcoming posts. Here they are: [...]

What is Google’s cloud? It’s a network made of hundreds of thousands, or by some estimates 1 million, cheap servers, each not much more powerful than the PCs we have in our homes. It stores staggering amounts of data, including numerous copies of the World Wide Web. This makes search faster, helping ferret out answers to billions of queries in a fraction of a second. Unlike many traditional supercomputers, Google’s system never ages. When its individual pieces die, usually after about three years, engineers pluck them out and replace them with new, faster boxes. This means the cloud regenerates as it grows, almost like a living thing.
