...company's efforts can be as simple as improving the energy efficiency of the products it sells - which also benefits the bottom line, since energy costs remain volatile. That's especially germane to big-power products, like the microprocessing chips that run desktop computers. Shapiro points to Intel, whose new microprocessors are designed to use 40% less energy to generate 40% more power than the previous generation of chips - just 18 months old. Dell itself has rolled out a new desktop that is up to 70% more efficient than the average PC - an attractive quality for server farms, the computer...

Instead, he says, "The national debate is on did Sarah Palin shoot a moose or a caribou? Let's get over...

The military sometimes launches air strikes based on tips from Afghan tribesmen, some of whom are not above using American firepower in their own feuds. For some observers, the surest way to improve the quality of intel is to put more Americans on the ground--to use more snipers instead of Snipers. But with the U.S. military stretched thin in Iraq--and NATO's allies reluctant to send more forces--it will be many months before more ground troops are in Afghanistan.
