    20 petabytes is reasonable considering the scope that google indexes. Remember some of that is recrawl

    From the page: "Remember, Google processes 20 petabytes of data every day; or if you prefer over 4,000 gigantic ships bursting with rice, 1,600 bowls for everyone on the planet, or central London drowned in 20 metres of the stuff. This is spread over 72,000 jobs each taking an average of 7 minutes to complete. Their data processing capability is a big contributor to their position at the top of the online world, and also no doubt to their estimated £1million monthly electricity bill."

    Learned a new term today: petabytes. Loved the analogy of rice, that is a whole mountain of information google is processing but they seem to be doing fine.

    Professor Albert A. Bartlett once said mankind's downfall will be due to our inability to grasp the exponential function. This proves it.

    According to another article: "Even Google, which is considered currently the best search engine ever, has succeeded to index only 170 terabytes up until now, Schmidt said." So I don't see how they run around processing 20 PETABYTES per day.
