Today's Story Highlights

Greenies Give Google 'Good Example' Props
For the first time in the search engine's history, Google revealed just
how much electricity it takes to power its massive computing
infrastructure. Google announced that for the year 2010, it used 2.6
million megawatt-hours of energy to run its data centers, search
mechanisms, Gmail, YouTube and display ads globally.

Behind the Pay Wall, Part 3: A Breed Apart
Fan sites are immune from many of the Achilles' heels that plague other
media outlets. Indeed, people don't need fan sites to be in the know.
When news breaks about a player, it will within moments be splattered
all over the Web. But even if fans don't need these sites for news, they
need them for camaraderie. This is one of the things that insulates fan
sites from the pay wall pitfalls that have ravaged other media outlets.

FSF's Star Turn in the Android FUDathon, Part 4
"Strike while the iron is hot" -- and the usual suspects have made
Android licensing a hot issue. However, the title of the FSF article,
"Android GPLv2 termination worries -- one more reason to upgrade to
GPLv3," gives the game away. This is about politics, not licensing.
About pushing a specific agenda. About promoting the GPLv3 license at
the expense of the GPLv2, Linux, Android and reality.

Parallels 7 Swings In
A new version of Parallels Desktop, the software that allows you to run
multiple operating systems on your Mac simultaneously, was released this
week. This latest edition of the popular virtualization software, which
is on more than 3 million desktops worldwide, has more than 90 new and
enhanced features, as well as a new mobile app that runs on the iPhone,
iPad and iPod touch.

Google Slips Zagat Up Its Sleeve
Google's acquisitions occur so frequently that they tend to attract
interest for a few hours after they're announced, and the market then
goes about its business. However, the company just made a deal that the
online ad industry has been fixated on all day: Google has bought Zagat,
the famed restaurant review publisher and provider of original content.
