There’s a lot of hubbub around the ‘Net over Google’s new “top secret” data center.

Um, how “top secret” can it be if even we’re writing about it? And that we know it’s in Dallas Oregon?

Also, we can’t help thinking if it’s really top secret it should be located inside a dormant volcano on some island in the Pacific, where Brin and Page sit in high-backed leather chairs, stroke Siamese cats and laugh menacingly. And Eric Schmidt sports an eye patch. Yeah, definitely an eye patch.
