So, overheating computers is a big problem. A really big problem. You should see the data centers that Yahoo built here in Grant County. They came for the cheap electricity, but boy howdy do they have cooling issues in the middle of a desert. The cost of cooling these computers is so high, Microsoft is investigating the possibility of building underwater data centers.

What's this got to do with a decade-old ARG that only dedicated Halo fans remember? Let me quote from the article:

It's an attractive idea, but there are obviously plenty of challenges, not least of all the difficulty of creating data centers that can survive without regular checkups. Data centers on land are open for engineers to fix and replace servers whenever needed, but Microsoft wants its undersea systems to go without maintenance for years at a time. "We see this as an opportunity to field long-lived, resilient data centers that operate 'lights out' — nobody on site — with very high reliability for the entire life of the deployment, possibly as long as 10 years," says the company.

Microsoft's first prototype, named Leona Philpot after a character from Halo, contained only a single computing rack sealed in pressurized container filled with nitrogen.

Eat your heart out, Bruce.
