Basic physics lesson, kids: no matter what cartoons told you, the temperature of a vacuum is N/A, not Minus A Jillion. Without a surrounding medium, you can only lose heat by radi- ation, which is *vastly* less efficient - and when cooling is one of the primary challenges of building these dumb things on a planet *with* oceans' worth of cooling medium, what do you think that does for the relative difficulty of keeping your billions of dollars of computing gear from incinerating itself? (To say nothing of the maintenance costs, the increase in latency...)
