Anon, this one is for you.
That Future wrote a post last week about Apple and wasn't tarred and feathered, clearly indicates that the AMDAL readership, incluso nuestros lectores hispanoparlantes, are eager for more tech news!
I've previously documented my fear/dislike of Google both in terms of its threatening Apple (here), and in terms of its threatening the world via the Skynet operation (here); but how about this juicy nugget coming out of California today?
Apparently Google is investing $40M in clean energy and wind farms in North Dakota (from Gizmodo). I'm still fearful of the Don't be evil mantra and I still dislike gmail, google.com, and blogger.com, but just like on Earth Day, I'm all for being green.
Apple has done great work conceding to Greenpeace's demands re the environment. The company has risen up from the bottom of the tech world to now lead in green manufacturing and energy efficiency throughout its products' lifecycles. But as they continue construction in North Carolina on one of the world's largest server farms (at a cost of $1B!), it'd be nice to see them p!edging to power it with renewable energy rather than oil collected from animal feathers along the Mexican coast. Google's $40M p!edge isn't a huge sum, but it shows that at least part of that company's proverbial DNA is on the right side. Steve should take note.
In other Green news, as the Hanover steward, I feel obliged to inform the readers that Dartmouth does continue to excel in at least one sport. The Dartmouth baseball team will play for its second consecutive Ivy League Championship next weekend.

Make it 6. You suck.
i thought joe asch was the hanover steward?
haha. youd THINK so. but he has retired from dartmouth politics and criticizing since his embarrassing defeat.
(i actually like the guy. he may whine more than anyone else, but at least he's done something. he single-handedly poured in something like $300,000 into the various writing programs/tutors. seemed pretty great to me, given the lack of good writing exhibited by many-a-student here.)
