More proof that Google is out to take over the world comes in the recently filed patent application for a “Water-Based Data Center”. Essentially Google sees the worlds oceans as a potential energy source and thinks having datacenters located on ships is a good idea.

‘computing centers are located on a ship or ships, which are then anchored in a water body from which energy from natural motion of the water may be captured, and turned into electricity and/or pumping power for cooling pumps to carry heat away from computers in the data center.’
