| 1193499 | 2011-04-11 03:30:00 | This is "technical" so I've put it on this "side". Mods please move if necessary. Has anybody looked into Granola (grano.la) which, apparently can save you power. The "results" of it's first run are attached but I don't really understand what it's doing or how it does it. Is it monitoring my laptop on line, in real time and making adjustments as it goes? If so, isn't that dangerous? MSSE hasn't flagged it.... And if it is legit, will the savings be worth bothering about? You may need to sniff round the site - all opinions and feedback appreciated. :thumbs: |

| 1193500 | 2011-04-11 03:36:00 | Interesting that according do it's default setting the average US cost of one KWhour is 12 cents! | tuiruru (12277) | ||
| 1193501 | 2011-04-11 03:38:00 | Could have looked up some reviews: download.cnet.com it's not doing anything Power management can't already do. |

| 1193503 | 2011-04-11 04:02:00 | It's roughly $10 a year savings based on my power rates and their claims, not worth the effort I'd say. | dugimodo (138) | ||
