Subject: Re: [backstage] BBC - "a typical Google search on a desktop
computer produces about 7g (0.25oz) of carbon dioxide"
I use one of those "download everything" tools in Firefox when I want to
take a site onto my netbook, easier than avantgoing.
Fortunately Skyfire's way of rendering web pages (having a proper PC
somewhere in the ether load and render the page, then just transmit a series
of JPEG tiles to the portable device) makes using big web sites possible -
but I'd still rather have a native mobile version of the site, more like how
BBC News does it. Ho hum.
