- Creating power out of thin air
- Creating power out of thin airFree electricitySmoke and mirrors. Magically creating another 'state' of a material is hogwash. Basic thermodynamics, no heat differential, no energy gradient to steal power from. If you add potential differences (e.g. batter), then it does work, til it runs down. You cannot...

- Complexity and the greening of the datacenter
- The majority of datacenters were built 15 years ago when power requirements and densities were much lower. Power consumption has risen from 2 kilowatts to 40 kilowatts over the past decade. Consumption per square foot tripled from from 40 watts to 100 watts from 2004 to 2005, and it is...
