Mac mini is the most energy efficient desktop PC, new data claims

Who says you have to go live aboriginal to care about what happens to the environment?  Collectively, small changes, like caring about how much power your computer uses, how much gas your vehicle consumes, how much power goes to heat/cool your house, etc can all add up to something big.  It's not enough, but to sit on our duffs and call it just a myth is to be ignorant to the fact we're living with a global environmental debt (that is, we consume more natural capital than our world can generate each year.)  I'm quite certain that given what we know, there's a way to balance the environmental budget while keeping some of the technological advances we've come to know and love.  The fact you believe AGW (Anthropogenic -- human caused -- Global Warming) is a myth demonstrates you've clearly been drinking the capitalist/corporatist kool aid for far too long.  The collective body of scientific evidence indicates there IS a trend, and it IS human in nature.  Carbon isn't the only greenhouse gas.  In fact, it's not even the most effective greenhouse gas.  Where the world faces serious problem, however, is when all that carbon and all our other GHG emissions heats up the earth to the point that ice caps melt and water vapor is more present in the atmosphere, we'll have passed a tipping point, and the world's climate will change even more rapidly.  Put a lid on a pot of boiling water and you'll get a sense of what I'm talking about.  It's why Venus is hotter than Mercury, even though Mercury is closer to the sun.
