And the trick is, each one has it's own built in battery. Also, they build everything into shipping containers.

Just to be clear, since a lot of people are asking me, no, this is not an April Fools' joke. It's the real thing. Google itself will be publishing much of the information itself later, including slides from the presentations and the videos. Google people said so at the event, and Google's Twitter account confirmed it publicly today: http://twitter.com/google/status/1440093160

Feels like a bit of media spin really? They have racks of the old servers sitting in their offices, they were all over the place when I was there, used to screw them to wood, like chipboard. If i was allowed to see 'em it was hardly secret...

perhaps.... maybe... its a bit of PR.

They would be beyond this by now at a guess.
