New Video: Exterior of the Apple iDataCenter

Apple watchers may be interested in a video report from a Charlotte news station that provides views of the exterior of the company’s new data center in Maiden, North Carolina. The report doesn’t break any new ground, rehashing recent speculation from securities analysts about an Apple video service that might compete with Netflix. But it provides a ground-level view of the exterior of the Apple data center, providing a sense of the scope of the 500,000 square foot facility. Here’s a look at the video, which runs 2 minutes, 30 seconds (with a pre-roll advertisement).
