Nice video. I like the temp. measuring robot. - Sean Brady
Interesting they've been doing it for three years and yet I haven't seen that type of temp mgmt technology in any of the datacenters I've worked in. - Dan Delphin

Nice Fish: we filmed with our pro microphones and HD camcorders, too, but that'll take a couple of weeks to get up. - Robert Scoble
Awsome data center, the nuber of processors and temp control is incredible. - Jason Holbrook
In this datacenter is the render farm that did parts of Shrek 1 and 2, by the way. - Robert Scoble
I'm so glad that these screenshots have survived and (sort of) been released. I wish the content weren't blurred though -- I'm pretty sure it wasn't super-personal or anything -- I was usually careful to avoid that. It would also be nice to have the actual screenshots instead of photos of screenshots. - Paul Buchheit
We should ask Keith if we can get real screenshots since they've made them available for photographing anyhow. - Kevin Fox
I'd love to see the pre-release logos TechCrunch blurred out. Would that violate some policy? - Voyagerfan5761
crossing fingers that the real screenshots make their way onto FF - Adam Kazwell
I love how they started off looking like other web-based mail readers and then quickly moved to the trademark UI. Very, very neat. - Jake
This is great! All of those interface changes were crazy! - Brandon Titus
The logos were just random placeholders (such as the trout, which wasn't blurred out for some reason). They really weren't particularly interesting or meaningful. - Paul Buchheit
I think Gmail has always been missing something since it eliminated the trout... - Chris Reed
There are great, especially given what Kevin said in Philipp's recent interview about not being able to discuss what Gmail looked like before release. Now, the trout... does that have any relation to TroutBoard.com? ;-) - Tony Ruscoe

Yes, I was inspired by the "Trout Farm" in eXistenZ - Paul Buchheit
i like some of these layouts better than the current one :) - Tim Hoeck
Trout, fail whales, something's fishy. - Alex Haar
Paul -- another Cronenberg fan! Glad to know there are a few of us oddballs out there. - Phil Glockner
I'm being honest when I say "inspiring"... I've built some homemade Intranet stuff at work and I love to see the evolution of the design. I want to go back and redesign everything now! Fantastic stuff. - Vince DeGeorge
"I have to agree with many others that the Apple Extended Keyboard II is the finest keyboard I have used in terms of key feel. I used it for a couple of years in the late 90s, and it was the first to even make me aware of how good a keyboard could feel. I have not found a match since." - Sanjeev Singh
My favorite keyboard is still the IBM AT keyboard. For years, my brother and I would hunt through fry's looking for those exact keyboards and refused to use any other. - Piaw Na
For those of you looking for Model M's -- http://pckeyboard.com has the patent and makes NEW USB ones. They are super-nice. I am typing this on a black Model M keyboard from pckeyboards right now! - Erica Douglass
I use a DVORAK keyboard and it sure as hell beats QWERTY! - Siddharth Deb
If I could get the Microsoft ergo keyboard form factor with buckling spring feedback, that would be One Badass QWERTY Rig. - matt shobe
Hilarious - may all come to pass before 2018. - Todd McKinney
Love it. But 2018? I'd except to be able to get Friend.com directly through the HUD in my flying car by then... Only silversurfers (like us) would still use "web browsers" in 2018. - Tony Ruscoe
Twitter feed not available? That may come to pass at 10:30. - Bill Bittner
And what's up with "low karma comments"? I thought the karma thing left us in the seventies... but yes, everything comes on cycles... - Alex von Halem
You've got the Google thing backwards :) - Paul Buchheit
Hey, I just noticed I'm in the screenshot. :D @Paul: ? What's backwards, where? - Voyagerfan5761
Actually, it missed one important thing - a HUGE ad, taking up the top half of the screen, for a substance that is just as effective as Viagra (which was banned in 2011). - Ontario Emperor
I think Paul's saying that in 2018 ff will own google - j1m
It's comforting that hitting monkeys will still be as popular in 2018 as they are now. - Ginger Makela
One thing they got wrong: by 2012, Paul will have started his own country southwest of Alaska on an artificial island. It'll be called Free Festivusland, and it'll get the top-level domain “ff”. FriendFeed will then be http://ff/ — no dots or coms or nets or orgs. - Amit Patel
I think the web will be voice and audio driven in 10 years, or at least it will be available. There's even some startup now that can sense nerve pulses to the vocal chords to know what you'll say before you actually say it. - Mike Reynolds
I think comments won't be replaced by nested commented, just like @ in twitter, many people like this. - terababy
Mike Reynolds, now I'm scared. Very scared. I'll get myself in trouble before I actually hear what I'm saying (rather than after). - Ontario Emperor
not to mention getting friendfriendfeed.com and friendfeedfriend.com. I like the idea of feedfriendfeed.com though. I do like food. - Kevin Fox
It would be cool to add FriendFeedFeed's feed in FriendFeed (assuming the service was real). - Ionut
I think adding FriendFeedFeed's feed to FriendFeed would cause the world to implode... so I'm glad the service isn't real! - Tony Ruscoe
I've at times considered what would happen if I took my Twitter, Tumblr, and FriendFeed feeds and plugged them all into my twitterfeed posting, under my Twitter username. Infinite loop and lots of noise, yes! (And I didn't even mention plugging Twitter, and FriendFeed into Tumblr as well. Yipe!!!) - Voyagerfan5761
