Rise of the machines

My laptop couldn't have picked a better time to die. Luckily, my reserve army was able to pull me through the weekend deadlines! Not often does one have to use all three major operating systems simultaneously: Windows XP SP3 auf Deutsch, OSX 10.4 Tiger on PowerPC, and Linux Ubuntu 11.04 on an ancient Pentium 3 machine.

Hope to demobilizes soon! What should I get for my next machine?

Google uses 0.01% of the world's electricity

This is quite amazing, but more amazing that it only uses 0.01% to run almost a million servers. I hope they also have good countermeasures against terrorists or military strikes.
