| GotoMyPC Advertising Directly to EcoGeeks? |

I love the internet. Oh...that didn't surprise you? Well, one of my very good reasons for this affection is that the internet allows us all to telecommute much more effectively. On this front, GotoMyPC's service is golden, allowing users to work on whatever computer they want to, without needing to burn a drop of gas.Now, generally, the environmental concerns here are seen as secondary, but I just spotted this advert at Engadget and thought it was worthy of sharing. It seems that GotoMyPC realizes that their software can have a positive environmental (and fiscal) impact through telecommuting, and they're using it as a selling point. It's great news for us all.

Yeh, my work desktop is on all the time for that reason. I don't know when I might nee to access it from home.
In theory you can set it to wake on network activity, but I find that needs to be off for them to ever hibernate properly, so not much use. I'm sure there was some more info in a PCPro article within the last year, which suggested this should work though. | ||

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.

surely that cant be a good thing - granted better than driving to your pc and then turning it on but how many people will this actually deduce their carbon footprint for?
just means hackers have more time to get into your machine!
