Computers get hot. Google data centres? They’ve got lots of them. Their new centre in Hamina, Finland, was built in an old paper mill with a network of granite tunnels underneath them. Tunnels filled with cold sea water Google could pump into their centre to rob the computers of heat before Google sent the water back from where it came from, mixed with more cold water so it wouldn’t affect wildlife. This is an inspiring design decision. [BI via Scuttlefish]

Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 1:30 PMThis is the diff between applve/ms/google
to me its always been google>ms>apple.
no. not the sea water story, its all down to innovation.
Im yet to see anything new come out from apple outside of the Iphone/IPad and macbooks. Even these are just minor upgrades to the model before.
IMO thunderbolt was the only thing apple came up with in the recent years, and that was collaboration with intel.
