Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
One can hardly blame Intel or even Microsoft for
initiating the Wintel alliance. They're in business to make money and
over the years, Wintel has arguably succeeded in dramatically lowering
the cost of hardware and even software if you choose to go the open
source route.
However, that still begs the same question. How
do you reconcile the quest to put ever more powerful processors in
personal computers, which already have millions of times the processing
power of the computers that were used to put the first men on the moon,
with reducing your carbon footprint?
The short answer is you don't. Unless you're a serious gamer or CAD
engineer, anyone who buys even an average notebook computer from a
corner store already has far more computing power than they should ever
need.
Anyone who doubts the above statement should take a look at what you
can do with a tiny relatively underpowered little sub-notebook like the
Asus Eee PC.
If we're really serious about reducing the IT carbon footprint, it's
time to bring both hardware and desktop software makers to account and
let them know that less is more not Moore.
