Great link. I'm not very tech savvy but it makes sense they would run into trouble with such huge data demands. I've personally seen Facebook's new "data center " in Prineville Oregon. It gobbles a massive amount of water and power. It has 2-3 story solid concrete exterior and a massive footprint. It looks more like a military operation than a business.

Yahoo made one in Niagara County NY (Lockport) a place that did all this atrocity to me as a child. I find the decision to build there baffling.
Their faux ethic and prejudice would negate any of their technical offerings or business dealings in any location really.
