The new Facebook data center went live near the Arctic Circle in LuleƄ, Sweden this week and promises to be a state-of-the-art centre supporting live Facebook traffic across the world. It is notably the first Facebook data centre outside the US.
Facebook claims it is the most efficient and sustainable data center and all servers and related equipment is powered by locally generated hydro-electric energy. Why near the Arctic Circle in Sweden? So that the chilly air can cool servers and even use the extra heat to warm offices. It also maintains the highest standards in that servers and power distribution systems are all based on Open Compute Project designs.

Now check out some amazing photos of the new data centre.

Check out the amazing clean, well lit, neat and cool servers.



Also peek inside the cool offices, the huge windows with an amazing view and bright vibrant working environment.

The lounge areas are equally bright and lively.

Is it not one of the best places to get a job. Also peek inside the Google data centres (and how they save energy) and even look at the servers inside the nuclear bunker!

Play Cube Slam game online and explore the integrated modern web technologies which take gaming to new levels. Cube Slam is a simple game which my son seems addicted to and cannot stop playing. While at first glance it seems simple to play, as you win and reach higher game levels, the game gets faster and more complex and worth playing.
Cube Slam Game Online

You can play it single player against the ‘bear’ or choose to play with a friend online.
So what is special about Cube Slam? It is the unique mix of modern open source technology deployment that goes behind it that is amazing. Cubeslam is built using WebRTC (video chat with friends in the browser without plugins), getUserMedia API accesses your webcam/microphone, RTCPeerConnection sends audio/video feed to your friends, RTCDataChannel keeps the game in sync, WebGL/ three.js/CSS3 provide real-time 3D rendering gaming and the list goes on and on. It is built on Google Cloud Platform with the app hosted on Google App Engine.
Did I forget to mention that this requires Google Chrome Browser to play! I tried it on Internet Explorer and it informed “Browser not supported” and urged me to install Chrome. What are you waiting for – if you got Chrome (which you must have anyway), play Cube Slam online now. Play more games online like Minesweeper, Angry Birds or Cut The Rope
