A quote from the article:
Those who have been around the electronic/computer industry for a few years can probably remember when processor coolers were aluminum finned components held in place with a wire clip. Most were not more than ¾? high, and some were anodized for looks or made of copper, but they did the job. But Moore's Law was always in play and over the years processors gradually not only gained power but also produced more heat. Redesign of the processor and better manufacturing techniques/materials helped control the heat generated, but soon bigger heatsinks and fans were needed to keep the processor cool.

As the years went by water (some with a peltier), nitrogen and other techniques of cooling gained popularity, but they all required special precautions against water spills or condensation. Then the heat pipe was introduced onto the scene and they have become dominate with their ability to keep that processor cool without fear of spilled liquids. However, Moore's Law is as applicable as ever and so that heat problem is still nagging the computer industry.
