Fujitsu To Show Off "Zero-Watt" PC At CeBIT 222
mobile writes "In August of last year Fujitsu announced new 'zero-watt' displays. This means the screens use absolutely no power when put into standby mode, unlike most other screens that use less than 1 watt, but still require some power. Now Fujitsu has announced they will be showing a zero-watt PC later this year at the CeBIT show. The PC is called the Esprimo Green and marks a first, in that it's able to use no power while in standby mode — but this is a feature that will be required from 2010 for new PCs released across Europe."

I've been looking for a computer powered by zero-point energy [wikipedia.org] drawn from vacuum fluctuation. [wikipedia.org]
Maybe I can transplant the power supply into my car and get infinite miles per gallon?

The zero-power use state is activated when the "zero-power" LED turns on.

My computer doubles as the music streamer I listen to at work. It also doubles as the router my family uses to access the internet. It also doubles as a file server.
So it quadruples?
He doubled three times, there. 2*2*2 = 8. I'm afraid it actually octuples.
