Think that new $199 iPhone is going to save you money over the older $399 model? Guess again.
AT&T is raising its minimum monthly service subscription for the new iPhone from $60 to $70 per month, according to the Associated Press. That’s an extra $240 over the lifetime of the two-year contract — more than the $200 initial savings on the handheld’s retail price.

A Microsoft white paper released this week asserts that Windows Server 2008 can cut power consumption by 10% compared with Windows Server 2003 out of the box where each test machine had two dual-core procs w/ 4GB ram.
From the comparison study WS2k8 with 20 active clients connected to it would save about $30 annually in power costs per server compared to WS2k3.
I wonder if this same power savings applies to Itaniums (mmm, me thinks IA64 is probably a power hog compared to x64)?
There’s no indication of what a similarly configured Linux boxed consumes for power.
