POWERING PCS DOWN AND SAVINGS UP

Green IT: Whereas many IT projects (think ERP, CRM, CMS) are nearly

both the love and hate varities. "Sometimes happy, sometimes not, almost
always interesting." Topics for this post include Apple's 'alpha in beta
clothing' Safari browser, the invasiveness of Google's Street View, and
