]谷歌究竟有多强大

谷歌究竟有多强大谷歌到底有多巨大（以实质计算）？更具体地说，它收录了多少索引页面？这是下面的信息视图尝试回答的问题。虽然谷歌索引页面的准确数字是一个秘密，这个图表依靠数学对这个天文数字做出了有把握的猜测。这个数字就是...（请尖叫）40亿

Just how massive is Google (in real terms) you ask? More specifically, how many pages are in its index?  That is the question this aesthetically pleasing infographic attempts to answer. Even though the precise number of pages in Google’s index is a closely-guarded secret, this graphic relies on math to make an educated guess at the exact number.  And that number is..(drumroll please) 40 billion.  谷歌到底有多巨大（以实质计算）？更具体地说，它收录了多少索引页面？这是下面的信息视图尝试回答的问题。虽然谷歌索引页面的准确数字是一个秘密，这个图表依靠数学对这个天文数字做出了有把握的猜测。这个数字就是...（请尖叫）40亿。
That’s quite a lot of pages if I do say so. Google is 1,600 times the size of what it was when it began.  According to the graphic, if you were some insane loon who felt the need to display all of Google’s indexed sites on a single monitor, the screen would have to be 6 million miles from corner to corner.  So, get cracking.  It should only take you about 150 years to build such a monitor.  这是很多很多的网页，要我说的话。谷歌现在是最初时候的1600倍。根据图表信息显示，如果你是一条疯狂的大恐龙，需要在一台显示器上显示谷歌所有的索引网站，屏幕对角会达到600万英里。因此，赶紧的，这个显示器要花你150年才能做好。
The graphic covers many other aspects of Google besides its index, such as gmail, youtube (which it acquired in 2006), the business side of Google, and other “stuff” (ie. random facts).  Among the fascinating tidbits, gmail’s current storage allowance is equivalent to 1.74 billion full audio CDs. Another intriguing piece of info: because there are 1.5 billion images in Google, you would need 112 million floppy disks if you wanted to store them all.  Now, here’s where its gets scary (but the good kind of scary).  Google hopes to  index about 100 petabytes of information in the near future, which is equal to half of all printed material in human history.  图表还覆盖了其他方面，例如Gmail，YouTube（在2006年收购），谷歌的业务方面以及其他“东西”（一些事实）。迷人的花边新闻，Gmail当前存储量相当于17.4亿灌满的CD光盘。另一个耐人寻味的信息：Google有150亿图片，如果你想将他们全部保存，需要1亿1200万张软盘。现在，Google这地方总是吓人的（但是是好样的吓人）。谷歌估计在不久信息量就达到大约100Pb，这等于所有人类历史上印刷材料的一半。
