And actually we have a website, too! Check out nerdalize.com .
There's a heat expel mechanism that allows us to remain operational in the summer, too (see the video on the site). We aim to run big CPU bound jobs now, e.g. we are doing massive protein folding. Such tasks are expensive in current cloud offerings, and there's a lot of innovations (e.g. Docker) commoditizing the cloud now. We can cut back on costs because traditional data centers have a lot of overhead in building, redundancy and infrastructure cost that we radically eliminate.
Having said that, we are also contacted regularly by data center builders and operators. They are interested in our innovation in cooling technology. We can't disclose much about that at this point, though.
Reaching Slashdot was on our bucket list, thanks for catching this! Good summary BTW.
