Translation

I noticed, in slide 7, you simply called it 'Hackers Language', without providing a translation. Hackers language is called Leet Speak (Elite Speak), otherwise known as leet, or 1337. Pretty much anybody who plays video games seriously knows it, and it's not just for hackers alone. Here's the full translation:

Google runs on a unique combination of advanced hardware and software. The speed you experience can be attributed in part to the efficiency of our search algorithm and partly to the thousands of low cost pc’s we’ve networked together to create a superfast search engine. The heart of our software is pagerank (TM), a system for ranking web pages developed by our founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University. And while we have dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of Google on a daily basis, Pagerank continues to provide the basis for all of our web search tools.

Very interesting read.
Is this available as a book somewhere?
A link to that book, maybe on amazon.com or bn.com would be great.
