Video: Half-a-year after the most over-hyped product release in history, the time has come to take a look at what's good, and not so good, about Apple's iPhone. Kevin Railsback and Eric Hill do just that in the series Two geeks and iPhone. Is it really worth the price, and having to deal with Apple's restrictions? Part 1 looks at what they've actually used the phone for during the last six months. Safari is a gimme, but these two have different practices with the device. In Part 2, they share some of the tips and tricks they've picked up along the way for e-mail and browsing, neither of which is ideal on the iPhone. Tackling one of the thornier issues with the device, they show how to add third-party apps and work around some Apple-imposed limitations in Part 3.

Sustainable IT: If this stable of luminaries is even close to correct, 2008 will be a greener year than the last. "The flourishing world of green technology is driven by true need. Companies are running out of space and power in their datacenters, not to mention struggling with high energy costs," Ted Samson explains in IT leaders share green-tech predictions for 2008. Executives from AMD, Cisco, IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Sun, SNIA, VMware and Yahoo, among others, contribute to the piece -- and to Samson's conclusion that "2008 is shaping up to be an eventful year for green IT, to say the least."
