The Downside of Wireless Controllers
I was at a friend’s over the weekend and we were playing some games on his Xbox 360. It seems that every time we’re in the middle of a game, one of the wireless controllers dies due to weak batteries. I have to wonder: Is it really that much better to go wireless when you constantly need to change batteries? The wired controllers never needed a battery switch.
I do have a wireless mouse on my desktop. I use the computer to watch TV sometimes and a wireless mouse serves as a remote control of sorts. I use rechargeable batteries to avoid creating unnecessary waste. Still, there is something to be said for having wires that power up a peripheral instead of batteries.

Don’t throw that old computer out: Install Linux on it instead!
I love technology but I am also quite aware of the negative impact it can have on the environment. Still, I think it's technology that has the most potential to save us. Here you'll find articles on the green tech aka clean tech, such as alternative fuel, green computing, and e-cycling. You'll also hear about the "green" and the "tech" - from green household cleaners to why Linux is the progressive operating system of choice.
