About this package

Google was granted its patent for floating data centers.

"A system includes a floating platform-mounted computer data center comprising a plurality of computing units, a sea-based electrical generator in electrical connection with the plurality of computing units, and one or more sea-water cooling units for providing cooling to the plurality of computing units."

This invention would presumably enjoy freedom from property taxes.

I wouldn’t park these boats off the Somali coast either or Google may have to deal with some serious piracy.
