Buy one $100 laptop, give one 'free'
News Laptop batteries can be recharged using a rip cord, a crank, a pedal, a car battery, or solar panels - in fact, anything that can produce between 10 and 20 volts of electricity, according to OLPC's chief technology officer Mary Lou Jensen. [25 Sep 2007]
The greening of IT: Cooling costs
Comment Usually, it comes in as AC, gets converted to DC to charge batteries, and then UPS regenerates AC, and the power supply changes it back to DC. Last year, the BroadGroup's Power & Cooling Survey found that the average UK data centre spent more than... [21 Sep 2007]
On Energy Provisioning and Relay Node Placement for Wireless Sensor Networks
White Paper Wireless sensor networks that operate on batteries have limited network lifetime. However, due to energy constraint, even under the most efficient protocols and algorithms, the network lifetime may still be unable to meet the mission's requirements. [23 Aug 2007]
The greening of IT: Why less is more
Comment Green technology must also mean a responsibility towards the extraction and dumping of hazardous chemicals, destroying natural habitats to make way for acre after acre of bio-fuel crops and preventing civil wars in under-developed economies where... [13 Aug 2007]
$100 laptop gets set for mass production
