Microsoft on Facebook: The internal memo from Kevin Johnson | Tech news blog - CNET News.com

Microsoft just bought a small stake in Facebook for $240 million (more than Facebook’s 2006 revenues, which is interesting) on a $15 billion valuation. Kevin Johnson, president of Microsoft’s Platform and Services Division, sent this e-mail to all Microsofties explaining why this was such a coup:

Microsoft said it is launching a reworked low-end version of its Xbox 360 in a bid to widen the game console’s appeal to a broader audience that has flocked to rival Nintendo Co Ltd’s Wii.

The new Xbox 360 Arcade costs $280 and comes with five games previously available only for download over the Xbox Live online service. It does not have the hard drive found on more expensive Xbox models, but will have a memory card for saving progress in games.

** Nintendo also had its best month (October) of the year as it sold 501,000 Wii consoles. The Wii has outsold the Xbox 360 and Sony Corp’s PlayStation 3 this year due to its low price point and emphasis on simple, easy-to-learn games.

Microsoft Corp beat out Google Inc on Wednesday in a battle to invest in socializing Web site Facebook, agreeing to pay $240 million for a 1.6 percent stake in the Web phenomenon.

Microsoft also clinched exclusive rights to sell ads on Facebook outside of the United States as part of the investment that valued Facebook at $15 billion — on par with the market capitalizations of retailer Gap Inc and hotel chain Marriott International Inc.

Its time to be taking note of the power consumption of your computers.

Big Tech HP offers technology to cut the Internet’s energy bill «

he Internet is hot. Not just hot as in popularity. Hot as in heat.

It’s so hot, in fact, that data centers – those expensive warehouses full of computers that serve up information – are racking up huge power bills. According to Hewlett-Packard’s (HPQ) calculations, a large data center with 70,000 square feet of space might guzzle $10.4 million worth of power in a year. Data centers require so much energy that over a three-year period, the computers inside could easily cost a company as much to plug in and cool as they did to purchase in the first place.
