Since the announcement of the technology preview in the Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles in October 2008, Microsoft has open-source web framework and sandbox with industry leaders to develop Web in a box full of sand industry solutions, Microsoft said.

Microsoft is for developers who are experimenting with the website Sandbox, even including the sample, so that developers can try to break the sandbox.

“Since the first version of Web Sandbox, we received many comments from Web security community. Our goal is to help achieve widespread adoption of website sandbox, and to promote interoperability with complementary technologies such as frame scripts Labs” Microsoft Live, said on its website Sandbox.

Although Apache Microsoft licensed for the project is not sponsored or endorsed by the Apache Software Foundation, Microsoft said. website Sandbox based on Microsoft’s experience with DHTML, Windows, Windows Live Web-based devices, and the shield project that uses the Microsoft browser JavaScript virtualization with rewriting.

The execution can create two Google searches from your desktop computer the same amount of harmful carbon dioxide to boil a kettle for a cup of tea according to a new study cited on Sunday.

A typical search generates about seven grams of CO2 generated in a boiler of about 15 g, the Sunday Times, a physicist at Harvard University was quoted as saying.

“A Google search has a definite impact on the environment,” said Alex Wissner-Gross, whose research in the near future.

The newspaper said Google is “secret” about their energy consumption and carbon footprint, and refuses to reveal the location of data centers.

“But the world with 200 million Internet searches each day, which is the electricity consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases by computers and the Internet to cause active concern,” the newspaper said.

A recent report by Gartner Information Technology, said the greenhouse gas in the computer industry worldwide, and contributes to global warming in the airline industry generates.

Google’s system, which sends multiple requests competing servers that can be thousands of miles away, “minimize delay, but increases the energy.”

Wissner-Gross presented his research for publication by the Institute U. S. Electrical and Electronics Engineers and has launched a website.

“Google is very effective, but their main concern is to find quickly and that means they burn a lot of extra capacity, energy,” said the physicist.

Google said: “We are among the most effective of all Internet search providers.”
