Send to email | Your PS3 And 360 Are Killing Your Power Bills [Science] in NewsNintendoPlaystation 3PS3WiiXbox 360 | By Luke Plunkett el 04-Jun-2008 | 
Very serious, very respected Aussie consumer magazine Choice ran a little test recently. They plugged a bunch of electronic stuff in, turned them on, then let them run and added up how much each appliance would cost you to power for a year if you left them powered-up. The humble DVD player would run to AUD$34.42. A cordless telephone? AUD$2.87. A PlayStation 3? AUD$260. Egads. The 360's not much better, coming in at AUD$203, while the humble Wii uses a humble AUD$24.58. Sure, nobody ever leaves a console on for 365 days, so these are indicative, but still. They're indicatively reminding you to turn your consoles off when you're not using them.
Power usage [Choice]

| Fame! | | I used to tout every bit of media interest I've gotten, but lately it's hardly seemed worth it. Press outreach is part of my job, so a quote in a newspaper in Florida, or a radio interview in Pennsylvania, doesn't do much for the ego any more.

Gore responded briefly that it is "really harmful that science education… [has] been pushed out of the experience our children have in schools in order to teach to a test."

| Science advisor | | This summer, I sat in with some big shots to discuss the future of science policy in an Obama Presidency, and of space policy in particular.

| Easy does it | | A recent edition of Science featured a worrying paper by University of Chicago sociologist James A. Evans titled Electronic Publication and the Narrowing of Science and Scholarship. Seeking to learn more about how research is conducted online, Evans scoured a database of 34 million articles from science journals.

| Texas science standards: Disco. plays fast and loose | | Texas is gearing up to revise their state science standards. This is a big deal, because the standards Texas sets determine how textbooks are written not just for the Texas market, but for the rest of the nation.
