  We extend the derivation of the Hawking temperature of a Schwarzschild black
hole via the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to the de Sitter and anti-de
Sitter spacetimes. The thermodynamics of the Schwarzschild-(anti-)de Sitter
black holes is obtained from the generalized uncertainty principle of string
theory and non-commutative geometry. This may explain why the thermodynamics of
(anti-)de Sitter-like black holes admits a holographic description in terms of
a dual quantum conformal field theory, whereas the thermodynamics of
Schwarzschild-like black holes does not.
