Google’s Heart of Gold

What’s better than the leading computer manufacturing companies coming together to make an energy efficient PC desktop that could help reduce entropy and possibly slow global warming? 20+ leading computer manufacturers and one Google combining forces to form the Climate Savers Computing Initiative. That’s right Google dawns the superhero cape and tights to help save the world, one search query at a time. The Official Google Blog has the full details of their most recent altruistic efforts.

Last fall we talked about our work on efficient power supplies in the capable hands of Ben Jai, Ken Krieger and the rest of our power supply team. Since then, we’ve become involved in several projects focused on environmental stewardship. Today, for example, together with Intel, Dell, EDS, the EPA, HP, IBM, Lenovo, Microsoft, the World Wildlife Fund, and more than 20 other companies, we announced the Climate Savers Computing Initiative. After working on this initiative over the last few months, we’re delighted to join with so many organizations to form this new group. In particular this project should speak to every business with computers.

Looks like Google’s one step away from actually embedding itself into your PC desktop. I guess that’s one way of surpassing their most recent privacy issues.
