I really like companies like Ilisys who at least try to do their part in the fight against global warming. Ilisys is a carbon neutral ISP located in Australia.

They use renewable wind and solar sources to power their data centre and headquarters.

Ilisys uses more than 200,000 KWh of electricity each year, serving websites and managing email for 18,000 Australian businesses. By choosing Natural Power, Ilisys is reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to a healthier environment.

According to a few rumours Microsoft is on the way of buying Yahoo, Google’s worst enemy. Microsoft wants to have bigger cake of the Internet and buying Yahoo would be a good step up for Microsoft.

According to New York Post, Microsoft has had informal discussions with Yahoo for a time now. Their sources also now say that these discussions have turned into a more serious business and that Microsoft has already offered a bid for Yahoo.

If Microsoft buys Yahoo the company will have 27% of the search engine market. But Google will still be the king of search engines with 65% of the market.

AdBrite has just introduced to it’s publisher a way to customize the look and feel of the interstitial header. You can for example change background color, add a logo and choose a “skip this ad” button.

Click on “create” next to that pen icon. If you need more help with the customization you can find a official guide at “How do I create a custom interstitial header?” in the help section.

I see that it has become possible for me to create a theme for Word Press now. Why, you don’t have to have any knowledge in HTML, JS, PHP, or CSS. This one has just been released by Yvoschapp, don’t ask how to pronounce that please.
