I was just fascinated by the article and I felt it will be a wonderful development especially in the third world countries where owning a personal computer is still consider a luxury. <BR/>If the corporate entity Useful.com is lying about the claim, then they are undoing themselves. The online community will simply label them LIARS! <BR/>Thanks anyway for taking time to teach a non-tech like me.

Over 50%? Undoubtedly. That means that, if you put another 'you' sharing your computer, you'd soon be bogged down butting heads because both of you would be waiting for the CPU to catch up to you.<BR/><BR/>Want to put 10 of you on the same computer? Then Windows Task Manager should never show you (alone) using more than 10% of CPU capacity. If that's true, why did you spend so much money on a computer that has so much capacity you can't begin to use it all?<BR/><BR/>Doesn't this claim in Digital Journal make you skeptical? "Userful is also finding an innovative way to be green in the PC market. It says 10 monitors, mice and keyboards on a single computer reduces CO2 emissions by up to 15 tones per year per system." So it seems that each single user would save 1.5 tones of CO2 emissions per year. I bet you didn't think your own computer put out 1.5 tones of CO2 a year, let alone "save" that much. Let's see... 3000 pounds of CO2 in a 365-day year is 8.2 pounds a DAY in 'savings'. With any gas as light as it is, how many cubic feet of gas is it that would weigh 8.2 pounds? MANY THOUSANDS! If you save this much, how many thousands of cubic feet of CO2 does your computer produce anyway?<BR/><BR/>Moral of this story: Corporate Public Relations exists solely to put a positive spin on everything related to the company. Is it any wonder they exaggerate (or even LIE)? Use your own common sense. Otherwise, I know someone who will sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
