Arnold has written a book about The Google Legacy that can be downloaded through Infornotics (PDF only, no hardcopy).  [The book] identifies and explains a series of incremental hardware and software innovations "not fully appreciated by Google's competitors, analysts or users" that have given Google its competitive edge. "The net of these advantages is that Google does not have a search system. Google has a supercomputer that delivers applications. Some of these applications are free for the user; namely, search. Other applications are for Google's 4,000 employees; namely, the programmers who craft applications for the Googleplex and employees who use the formidable number-crunching capabilities of the Googleplex to figure out what users are doing, how to maximize advertising revenue from billions of online clicks in real time, and improve the search experience." I was also alerted to the fact that with this, they have opened a call for papers for "2005 Search Engine Meeting" (which takes place next year, in April)..
