Hardware, Embedded Systems VIA Technologies announced this morning that the company's new C7-D processor is now available. That wouldn't seem like such a big deal if it weren't for the fact that VIA has also taken the initiative to make this the world's first carbon-free desktop CPU.

USA is different, people doesn't care about their cars gas consumption (which is a higher pollution than computers), so why would they care about computers? ;)

Government in USA should higher prices for gas or atleast taxes, right now price of gas in USA is 50% of EU prices ;)

Bit disappointed this was modded down, as he's absolutely right. And we don't need to open up the debate on how America can keep gasoline prices this low, do we?

It's wrong to body-swerve the very idea of touting greener tech to America, just as it's not wrong to make UK schools look seriously at what they feed to their morbidly-obese pupils. They may ignore it, but the need to keep trying overrides the 'pointlessness' argument.

Why would US always have prime access to new stuff ? Sony delayed the PS3 on March 2007 in EU, the Apple Event 2006 was moved from EU to US, etc... For one time EU have something before the rest of the world (US and JP), I think you have not to complain...

And yes, ecology is far from being a concern in US.
