Hangar One at Moffett Field, 2011. (Mercury News)MOUNTAIN VIEW -- After designing driverless cars, experimenting with robots and secretly building a fleet of barges, Google is taking on a new challenge: running an airfield in the heart of Silicon Valley and restoring one of the area's most iconic buildings, once used to house Navy blimps.
Google's plans for the Moffett airfield are unclear, although the agreement could allow limited commercial development, or possibly a museum or education center at the hangar site. The company declined to comment, saying only that it wants to "preserve the heritage of Moffett Federal Airfield."
Whenever someone asks me about creating a viral marketing campaign I tell them that funny things almost always beat serious things.

Take an unusually slow day in a Toronto college journalism school newsroom, and a journalism student with a love of sports. Now add controversy over the 2014 Sochi Olympic preparations, and some social media.
What you end up with is @SochiProblems. The Twitter account is the brainchild of Alexander (Alex) Broad, 20, a journalism major at Centennial College in Toronto, and a contributor to the program’s newspaper, TorontoObserver.ca.

Broad himself was unprepared to see his creation, launched Tuesday Feb. 4, as a Twitter account called@SochiProblems, become so popular. In only three days it has already attracted more than 240,000 followers ranging from ordinary Canadians, to well known personalities in the media, to athletes, current and retired.
So many people are curious what Google pays for data center power and network. Google’s Urs Hoelzle shares its data center cost. It’s first bill for its data center 15 years ago. :-)
...
15 years ago (on Feb 1st, 1999) I first set foot in a Google datacenter. Well, not really -- in the Google cage in the Exodus datacenter in Santa Clara. Larry had led me there for a tour (I wasn't an employee yet) and it was my first time in any datacenter. And you couldn't really "set foot" in the first Google cage because it was tiny (7'x4', 2.5 sqm) and filled with about 30 PCs on shelves. a1 through a24 were the main servers to build and serve the index and c1 through c4 were the crawl machines.
Maybe 15 years from Urs will share what Google’s bills look like now. Can you imagine what Google’s data center infrastructure will look like 15 years from now?
