It's Cringley so you have to take it with a grain of salt.

Most interested in the teu container thing (twenty foot equivalent unit) not in a taking over the internet. I've seen these in various places in Africa. Datacenters in trailers have been around since the early 70's, but tractor trailers are pretty large, and fairly delicate compared to containers, and now that basically everyone on the planet has container handling equipment, you can drop containers pretty much anywhere you want, ship them on airplanes etc.

See:

for an example of datacenter in a tractor trailer.

Bit of a prisoners' dilemma involved in being a soldier in IRAQ. US military is happy participate in a technology escalation hot-war. But not change the rules in mid-stream. We're still fighting a war of pacification, that course of action is doomed. Being closer to the action, doesn't make you any more likely to be able to change the outcome.

Of course this article is totally and massivly confused on the differening effects of phosphorous vs napalm , chemical vs fire weapons, the possibility of it being a thermobaric weapon (likely since they've been used elsewhere in iraq), etc... picture and or attribution would be useful.
