The power density arguments are valid. I work in a large data center and the statements about empty floor space because of power limitations is accurate. The data center was designed in the late 90's, since then power density has increased to the point that we cannot fill it with equipment. Also, the decentralized distribution of hardware described in the article reminded of a MMORPG described in the Charles Stross novel Halting State. There the MMORPG was distributed over the players hardware so that very little centralized hardware was required.
