IBM effort to focus on saving energy
IBM is beginning a $1 billion-a-year investment program intended to
double the energy efficiency of its computer data centers and those of
its corporate customers.
Many technology companies are trying to curb the runaway energy
consumption of data centers, the modern engine rooms that power the
Internet and corporate computing.
But IBM is the largest single operator of data centers worldwide, and
analysts say the company's initiative, which is being announced
Thursday, is a significant step in deploying a broad range of
technologies to tackle the problem.
GPL likely to regain Apache compatibility
SAN FRANCISCO--In a significant change of course, the
Free Software Foundation is working to make the upcoming version 3 of
the General Public License (GPL) compatible with an alternative, the
Apache License. "I think a final change we'll see for the release
of GPL 3 will be that compatibility," said Free Software Foundation
Executive Director Peter Brown in a panel discussion Tuesday at Sun
Microsystems' JavaOne conference here. The Apache License compatibility
had been removed as a result of an "11th-hour" decision before release
of the third draft of GPL 3.
