What are Apple up to?

By Daniel Smith on Feb 25, 10 08:02 PM

Technology darlings and funky phone makers Apple are busy building a huge data centre in North Carolina.

It's real big (500,000 sq ft) and apparently will cost around a $1 billion to complete what is essentially a building full of hard drives.

This footage has just got out to give you a sense of the scale of the thing.

Just one question remains. What's it for? These guys have an idea.

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
