XO laptop -- a green miracle of energy efficiency: Video

By Cory Doctorow on Video





Avi sez, "Mary Lou Jepsen, who invented the sunlight readable display for the two-watt XO laptop, gives the numbers that set the bar for ALL future gadgets."



This is a hell of a video clip -- Jepsen just lays down the cold, hard numbers about her marvellous invention and compares it to the disposable power-guzzlers the rest of us use and the comparison speaks for itself. Damn, I wish that they'd made this for sale in Britain last Christmas.

(Thanks, Avi!)

Same show, somewhat easier link.

*highly* recommended.   Note particularly the speed with which XO
elements were brought from spec to implementation.

Note that if you just go to the greenergadgets site there is a shorter
version - you want the 50 minute talk.  It will say "50mins" in the
lower left hand corner of the video just before you play it.
