How much rainforest is in your coffee cup?

How much rainforest can one cup of coffee help preserve? For those who buy coffee grown in the traditional manner, under the shade of rainforest trees, the answer is roughly 2.3 square feet per cup.

HD-DVD might have died but Blu-ray is still in trouble

Just when you thought that the high def format war might have been over it seems the chinese government has different ideas.
