Just in case y'all haven't had enough news for today...

Given the ever increasing focus on renewable energy, it's interesting that A single high-powered rack of servers consumes enough energy in a single year to power a hybrid car across the United States 337 times. So it's good to see that the industry players are making their rack servers greener. I wonder if the topic came up at the Supercomputing Show 2006 which is covered here by TechwareLabs.

Bit-Tech have posted up an editorial about Windows Vista, commenting on the observations of it being perhaps a little too "newbie" targeted. Still with Vista, it appears as it has already been cracked. Various pirate websites have a version of Vista available to download, called "Vista BillGates". It comes supplied with a product key, allowing users to install the operating system on their computers unhindered. Damn those |337 hackers!

If you are looking at an alternative to Vista, you might be interested in TrustedReviews' editorial on using Linux at work. They have also written another interesting editorial entitled "All your eggs in one basket" which is a look at Intel's and AMD's ever changing place in the market.

Some stuff for the wireless users out there (or those considering going that way). DV Hardware have published a WiFi router troubleshooting guide containing 10.5 tips to fix problems with wireless routers. Meanwhile, TheTechZone has posted a guide on How to Get More Power From A Wireless Router. Also ol' mate mpot has had a look at a DIY biquad antenna kit from WarDrivingWorld.
