Prineville, Oregon IS home to only about 10,000 people but to hundreds of thousands of servers. In January 2010 Facebook decided to build a huge data centre on a 124-acre plot in the high, juniper-pocked desert east of the Cascade mountains. The first building is as long as an aircraft carrier. A second, nearing completion, is slightly bigger. Facebook is not alone. Bulldozers are chugging away on a 160-acre site nearby, digging for Apple. The iCloud will be housed here, in far-from-nebulous concrete and metal. The state boasts a growing collection of such centres.
