Taming the heat: lessons from the Death Star, the Human Torch, and sustainable IT
There’s a delightful irony in Star Wars’ infamous Death Star: for all its futuristic might, it was ultimately undone by a good old-fashioned exhaust port.

It’s a classic example of why sustainability and sensible design matter—and it’s not so far removed from the challenges we face in modern IT.
