    Green Attack On Facebook: Unfair, But Could It Help? Facebook has responded to criticism of its data centre strategy - and it seems Greenpeace isn’t being fair. But maybe that’s not the point.

    The Data center That Came By Truck - by Peter Judge I’ve had several weeks of non-stop cloud indoctrination over at eWEEK.
