	Salesforce.com goes carbon neutral \| The Register
		Salesforce.com is joining a green IT crusade dominated by computer manufacturers who've given themselves a bad name for churning out products that involve toxic manufacturing processes, guzzle power, and then blight the ecosystem once they reach the end of their useful lives.
		Carbon off-setters are concerned over the lack of standards and regulation of schemes, which could mean individuals and businesses waste their money while the planet boils.
		So far, Salesforce.com is living up to the stereotype of the carbon offsetter feared by Friends of the Earth, of having done little to reduce its actual emissions, beyond subsidizing employee transport and recycling in recent years.

		Researchers at IBM have overcome an important obstacle to building computers based on carbon nanotubes, byÂ developing a way to selectively arrange transistors that were made using the carbon molecules.
		According to estimates, carbon nanotubes have the potential to produce transistors that run 10 times faster than even anticipated future generations of silicon-based devices, while at the same time using less power.
		After applying carbon nanotubes in solution and allowing them to bind to the aluminum oxide, the researchers deposited palladium leads perpendicular to the aluminum/aluminum oxide wires.

	Technology Review: Nanotube Computing Breakthrough
		While the researchers expected to be able to sort nanotubes by diameter, the sorting by electronic type came as a surprise, says Mark Hersam, materials-science and engineering professor and one of the Northwestern researchers.
		Carbon nanotubes are appealing candidates for eventually replacing silicon-based computing because of their small size and excellent electronic properties: some are semiconductors--perfect for transistors--and others are metallic conductors and could be useful as wires for connecting transistors.
		So although researchers have been able to painstakingly create logic circuits using carbon nanotubes (see "Carbon Nanotube Computers"), the methods employed to sort them are "all pretty tedious," Dresselhaus says, and not something that could be scaled up for manufacturing chips with the millions of transistors needed to compete with today's computers.

	Survey: Carbon from Computing (TreeHugger)
		A watt-hour is a unit of energy, the amount of energy consumed in one hour by a device that reqires one watt of power to operate (or, at three watts, the energy consumed by an OLPC XO laptop in twenty minutes).
		If all our computers use 60,000 megawatts of power, then that is bad, as it would take two Thee Gorges Dams at 30,000 megawatts each to power all our computers.
		To say that all our computers use 60,000 megawatts per hour is therefore to say that two Three Gorges Dams need to be built _every hour_ to sustain the rate of change of power consumption.

		And remember - as if you could forget - that a whole mass of evidence points to the fact that excessive emissions of carbon dioxide have caused and continue to cause global warming, with much of the CO the result of fossil fuels burnt to generate electricity.
