  Greenpeace guide to greener electronics – one year on: Electronics industry starting to go green. 

  http://www.greenpeace.org/international/press/releases/greenpeace-guide-to-greener-el

  Amsterdam , International — A year on from the launch of the Greenpeace guide to greener electronics, the industry has made great improvements. Companies are now competing to become the first to go green ... by eliminating hazardous substances and takeback and recycle their products responsibly. The fifth guide, launched today, sees Nokia continue to lead the ranking with 8/10, with Sony Ericsson (second place) and Dell and Lenovo (joint third). “Greenpeace is very pleased with the progress of the electronics industry, a year ago less than half of the companies scored above 5/10, now they all do (1)” said Iza Kruszewska, Greenpeace International Toxics Campaigner. “There is still a long way to go for some, but the momentum is extremely encouraging. What is very exciting is that while the guide focuses on brand leaders, the improvements can be seen industry wide”. Examples of companies joining in the race to become green include the computer company ASUS (2), which has made substantial ch   [More...] [Less...]

  Molecules with memories - developing the future of the electronics industry 

  http://www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=2600.php

  ( Nanowerk Spotlight ) Apart from buying a new computer every year it seems you need to upgrade your old machine on a regular basis to keep pace with ever bigger software packages and image files. Apart ... from the hassle of having to perform major surgery on your computer, these upgrades cost money. But, what if these upgrades were no longer necessary? What if your desktop computer came standard with the ability to store more data than you could ever possibly need and was able to function at unbelievable speeds? This would be too good to be true, right? Besides, who has the space for such a megacomputer. Well, imagine that this megacomputer could be packaged as a smaller device than current laptops, and cost only a fraction of today s prices? This sounds like hard core science fiction, but like so many radical science fiction ideas - the real thing might happen sooner than you think. As chip designers are nearing the physical limits of Moore's law (some say that the exponential increase   [More...] [Less...]

  PCs lose popularity in Japan to more powerful electronics | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle 

  http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/world/5273000.html

  TOKYO Masaya Igarashi wants $200 headphones for his new iPod Touch, and he's torn between Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 game consoles. When he has saved up again, he plans to splurge on a digital ... camera or flat-screen TV. There's one conspicuous omission from the college student's shopping list: a new computer. The PC's role in Japanese homes is diminishing, as its once-awesome monopoly on processing power is encroached by gadgets such as smart phones that act like pocket-size computers, advanced Internet-connected game consoles, and digital video recorders with terabytes of memory. "A new PC just isn't high on my priority list right now," said Igarashi, who was shopping at a Bic Camera electronics shop in central Tokyo and said his three-year-old desktop was "good for now." "For the cost, I'd rather buy something else," he said. Japan's PC market is already shrinking, leading analysts to wonder whether it will become the first major market to see a decline in personal comput   [More...] [Less...]
