Solar Power - IDF 2011 Intel shows off a solar powered PC

CHIPMAKER Intel demonstrated an experimental prototype system running Windows from a solar cell that had a desk lamp as its primary light source. The solar cell was about the size of a postage stamp and the system was capable of running Windows and a couple of applications including a "funny animation". The staging lights probably helped too but still it was apparent that the system was running on a very small amount of power. Paul Otellini, president and CEO of Intel said "This was obviously just a technology demo since we have no plans to productise solar powered computing....yet, but it's a clear statement of the direction and capability of what we can do with our transistor technology." µ www.theinquirer.net
