Sounds like Google engineers spends a good time in their bathroom like me ;) And they understand the feelings you dont get your wifi signal in your bathroom.

Here is the TiSP Kit:
And when we have it installed:
I wish it was not just an April Fool fun :(

I always had the idea Google runs on Apache. But today playing with my Web Server Detection Tool and HTTP Header Checker i noticed www.google.com to return the following HTTP Header:
URL: http://www.google.com/
HTTP Header:
Status: HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html
Set-Cookie: PREF=ID=90107988a9ae4a88:TM=1157210262:LM=1157210262:S=ltFJ-O9yIsDIPVaS; expires=Sun, 17-Jan-2038 19:14:07 GMT; path=/; domain=.google.com

I couldnt find any trace of it over Google Labs or elsewhere. So couldnt digg up much info on it other than a list of Google server types (from answers.com). ...

Over a post in Google Webmaster Central Blogs Vanessa Fox stated that when your site goes down for maintenance tou should configure your server to return a status of 503 (network unavailable) rather than 200 (successful). This lets Googlebot know to try the pages again later.

To return 503 (Service Unavailable) status on Apache Web Server:
Step 1:
Create the following shellscript named 503.sh:
#!/bin/sh
cat <<EOF
Status: 503

GDrive: Google's Virtual Hard Drive
At Google Annual Analyst Day there was a slide or two on the presentation that showed evidence of Google creating GDrive; a virtual location to store your files without using a Gmail hack. Greg Linden said Google has removed the revealing notes with slides (PDF) of the presentation. But Derrick posted a comment with the notes for those slides at Greg's blog, where GDrive is mentioned.
Garett Rogers at Googling Google tries to figure out how GDrive will be monetized. He suggests that Google may offer a set amount of storage for free and charge an additional ...
