Lean, Mean Green Machines
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
In the simplest terms, a computer takes energy, in the form of electricity, uses it to store and manipulate information, and releases the vast majority of the energy as heat, noise, and light. The computers we love so dearly are burning far too much electricity and creating far too much heat. They are among the most inefficient devices ever invented, and the industry has had very little incentive to make them more efficient. The Information Age has not yet learned from the mistakes of the Industrial Age. READ MORE >

IBM Launches 1.9 GHz Power4+, Tops TPC-C Rankings
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
IBM this week divulged that it would indeed be launching a much-rumored 1.9 GHz version of the Power4+ processor in its pSeries Unix server line. IBM has not formally announced the processor as it does most products, but decided instead to tell the world about the faster chip by releasing a TPC-C online transaction processing benchmark that put it at the top of the ranking in terms of performance and price/performance for high-end systems.

Readers Weigh In on iSeries Channel Challenges
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
We have received a lot of feedback on the series of stories put together by Alex Woodie describing the channel issues facing the OS/400 server platform. If the amount and intensity of the feedback are any guide, we have certainly touched a nerve with this story. And this makes perfect sense, since as the iSeries channel goes or does not go, so goes or does not go the iSeries business at IBM and the ecosystem that we are all a part of. READ MORE >

Mad Dog 21/21: A Lion in the Sand
by Hesh Wiener
In November 2001, a team of French archeologists found the bones of a mummified lion in the Egyptian tomb of Maia, who had been the wet nurse of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. They believe the big cat was interred along with the little nurse about 1430 B.C. At first, they didn't let the cat out of the bag. But shortly after New Year's Day, at almost the precise moment Microsoft announced it was going to preserve support for Windows 98 for far longer than previously declared, the Egyptologists published their discovery in Nature.
