Comment What is this? (Score 4, Insightful) 136

1% drop in a 19 year age range and you write an entire opinion article about it with an obvious slant towards smart phones?

Why do people care what type of phone others have? Tracking? Missing out on that ad revenue or information gathering?

Slashdot needs a "stupid news" section or "pointless news" section.

Shit post.

This is so empty there isnt even a point to it being posted. MS isnt the only one making datacenters, no datacenter will reduce their power or water consumption, because they havent worked on that in a long time. Including nVidia hardware. nVidia has NEVER reduced power consumption, only increased it.
So, there is no valid information to back any of this hyperbole and BS up.
Even if they say, "sure we will WORK on it", doesnt mean it will happen in a timeframe to help consumers and citizens. Even if MS makes their platforms more efficient, the whole point of datacenters is to host applications that they dont control. So a promise from MS is as pointless as the Microslop they are giving everyone.

To focus is the efficiency part, so they will get to that point. This is a Proof of concept, so cheap to start, then start to make it more efficient, increase cost.
Or, to capture wasted energy, these things could be placed in strategic points to grab energy waste from sources.

This is essentially an extension of solar and wind and water energy capture, by capturing already converted "loose" power. There are many possibilities with this tech.
