Valve Trademarks 'DOTA' 141

An anonymous reader tips news that Valve Software has filed a trademark claim for the term "DOTA," fueling speculation that the company will soon reveal a new Defense of the Ancients game. Voice actor John St. John recently said he was recording for such a game in a post to Twitter. The tweet was subsequently deleted. Last year Valve hired 'Icefrog,' lead developer for the original DotA mod.

The only way to solve this in the long run is to address the source of the problem (instead of making use of extra heat or improving efficiency) and make the Data Centers actually run on clean power.

Iceland has the uniqueness of having a 100% reneable electricity power grid (probably the only country?) and there are several Data Center projects ongoing making use of that such as Verne Global.

On top of this infrastructure there is also a startup building what will be the first Truly Green Cloud Computing IaaS service called GreenQloud which actually I am working on.
