News that Apple is increasing its data capacity is good and the redundancy in disparate geographic locations is good.

California's taxes are insanely excessive. Apple is just one of many who are doing what they can to avoid the excessive taxes there. The movie industry is finding ways to avoid California taxes also, such as by doing the actual filming in another country. The other country, such as New Zealand, isn't chosen for its beautiful scenery ... all the filming is done indoors or in an enclosed outdoor area ... the country is chosen for the sake of avoiding the huge tax drain which would otherwise be imposed by California.

You are just pathetic.

Don't you know that Apple is building its gigantic spaceship HQ in Cupertino?

Even Nokia is shutting down its European operations and opening a shiny new R&D facility in downtown Sunnyvale.

California is not a great place for data centers because of natural disasters (read: earthquakes). Do you really want a good portion of Apple's cloud capacity to go out for god knows how long when the next "big" one hits?

Your comment on my comment is puzzling. Your bio "photo" shows you as Scrooge Duck, but you are no scrooge with your irrational vitriol.

Apple already built and opened a data center in Newark/Albre. It;s small compared to the one in NC since the one in NC is the largest of ant data centers of any company in the US. Not that it matters because data centers can be clustered. California is just too expensive in many ways so you can't blame them for getting the best ROI since it's what they are obligated to do.

That is great news for Reno! The area has been hit especially hard by the economic dowturn, so this influx of money and jobs will be great for the city and the state.

California is our tallest state, and as such, has the right to have higher taxes.

California is on the leftmost coast and it has left all other states behind in its degree of insane ardor for taxation.
