Getting IT?

Fancy finding out whether your iPod can come in any colour BUT green? Here you go: The Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics.

Now, how many trendy types in businesses are going to ditch their Bad Apple Macs? Come on, now... be honest.

What we really need now is a logo, too.

But seriously, at least a slap like this may perk 'em up a bit.

Minister calls for greener Government IT

Better late than never. They will publish their initial report in 2008.

Just hope they don't fancy Macs:)

Whoopee-dooo!! Yet another government IT report!!

If all the money spent on IT reports within the UK government over the last 20 years hadn't been, we would probably have billions left over in the treasury coffers. (It would be trillions if we counted the wasted IT projects too!!)

They'll have a large team of assorted bods brought in especially to produce the report at vast cost, and it will probably not even get looked at.

The odd thing to me is this. Isn't it the job of every head of IT within government to monitor, assess and act on things like this anyway? Why a special team? Are the existing personnel not doing their jobs?

Or they could have simply used an existing commercial assessment service such as this as launched by BT today. See Computing article.
