Comment on Amazon auctions computing power: Clouds under the hammer

I wasn't familiar with the "follow the moon" approach of having tasks move around the planet to be in places where demand is low, cooling cheap, and electricity cheap (if they use time-of-use rates).

It makes perfect sense now that I think of it..

Anybody knows of companies/organisations that do that? What kind of tasks is this useful for?
