subject: Apple Has Erected Solar Power [print this page] Cloud services occupy an increasingly prominent place in the infrastructure products Apple. Continuously increasing the total number of applications in the App Store, and the percentage of those who are involved in the synchronization of content via iCloud - has accelerated. Plus Siri. Virtual Assistant gets new features - again. Partly because of this growing number of users - two. New devices, such as the third iPad and iPod touch 5th generation, also are compatible with Siri - three.
For all this you need a rich hardware. And she, I mean the data center, we need "feeding" electricity. But the more active use of traditional energy sources - the more severe eyebrows shifted power to the people of this world. In order to provide the required number of "green" energy, Apple a year ago, began the construction of a solar power station next to their data center in North Carolina. Now, this construction of the century draws to a close.
Reporters local television station WCNC-TV flew over giant Apple holdings by helicopter and filmed the whole report, but - no it did not show. The only thing they took some shots from the video (which is why they are so blurry) and submitted them for publication on the site GigaOM. Progress compared to August obvious - Apple built up solar panels, almost all their land across the road from the data center. In the picture in the header, we see several unused "squares" next to the highway, but there is no doubt that they learn right now and is about to finish.
Employing once two power stations (the second - a few miles from this), Apple will provide 40 megawatts of power to its center, and a pool of 5 megawatts generated by the fuel elements based on natural gas. Just think: the synchronization three save files in the game Max Payne is due to just such a monstrous structures!
The "iPhone 5 is the world's thinnest smartphone", manufacturers Apple rejoices in its press release the next generation iPhone. Only 7.6 millimeters thick, the iPhone 5, 1.7 millimeters thinner than the previous iPhone 4S. But the iPhone 5 is thus really the thinnest smartphone on the market?
