Windows Live Wave 3

Just installed Windows Live Wave 3 Beta… so far, I’m pretty impressed with the eye candy. It certainly looks good. Windows Live Messenger 9 is bold looking for sure.

I’m putting this post together using Windows Live Writer Beta. It’s working nicely so far. Here is a link to the full download of the installer (~130MB!): http://g.live.com/1rebeta3/en/wlsetup-all.exe

Enjoy!

Data Centers are VERY costly and not very green. They use a tremendous amount of electricity to keep the systems running and more importantly, to keep them cool. Google is apparently looking at some very innovative approaches to solving this issue...

Move the DCs offshore... no, not to India or Malaysia... (though it could happen there too) but off the shore line about 11KM. They would use the motion of the water and heat from support ships to generate power and cooling for the DCs. Very clever - I don't know what the operating costs of such a setup would be but it is certainly looking at the problem from a very different angle!

W00T GooG!
