IT at Sea: Google to launch a computer navy
I found the title of this website to be very interesting. I am not a big science related person but the fact the Google wants to use wave energy to power and cool multilple data centers adript at sea amazed me. My first thought, with this being hurricane season, what happens in stormy weather. Will power cease to the data centers aboard these ships if the power is knocked out?
Then as I read on in the article, others have the same concern. Plus, they bring up the fact that these ships floating at sea are open to attack by others. There are reports of "Pirates" attacking ships in other areas. I guess this could happen. If I were a science / diehard technology buff I guess I would check into this much further. I will be concerned if this turns out to be the way of the future.
Curiously enough, there is a Blog related to this debate at the bottom of the website.
