Dell, Lenovo Adding Solar Option for PCs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-not-exactly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Lenovo just announced a solar power option for PCs, and Dell is about to do the same, according to Advanced Energy Group. But the solar hardware weights 86 pounds and costs $1,300! Lenovo officials admit they had to do this to reach the 75% mark to gain EPEAT Gold status; Dell couldn't be reached for comment. Hopefully the technology will get smaller and more affordable."

    No, we really don't. Maybe you do, but I'm not afraid - there's a far greater chance of being knocked down in the street. Do you live in fear of that every day?

    No. Most people are in fear of having their iPod nicked, and getting a kick in the face from some wanker who has placed in trousers round his ankles.

    "Extreme religion should be correctly called piety, not terrorism."

    Piety is reverence towards one's God. The word you're looking for is "religious extremism."
