Microsoft’s latest public push to expand AI-ready datacenters comes with an explicit promise: the company says it will “pay its own way” so local household electricity bills do not rise as a result of its buildouts, and it pairs that pledge with targets on water, jobs, taxes and community...
ASUS’s CES 2026 haul — eight Innovation Awards across six distinct product categories — is a clear, public-facing signal that the company is staking its brand on a mix of on-device AI, pro‑grade creative tools, sustainability messaging, and a hard push into high‑end gaming displays. The honors...
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping classrooms, research labs, and study habits — but every quick prompt, revision and “thank you” carries a measurable environmental and operational cost that students, educators and campus leaders can no longer afford to ignore.
Background

Microsoft’s announcement of a new Azure cloud region in Johor Bahru — branded Southeast Asia 3 — marks a deliberate escalation of its Malaysia strategy, adding in‑country capacity purpose‑built for AI workloads while coupling that infrastructure with skilling, community and sustainability...
The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Qatar used its annual gala to spotlight a simple, powerful message: civil engineers are no longer just builders of roads and bridges — they are architects of global impact, driving sustainability, resilience, and social value from Doha to the world stage...
SocialBox.Biz’s new “Call Before You Scrap It” appeal is an emphatic push for companies—especially those in Westminster and central London—to stop defaulting to recycling and instead assess surplus Windows 10 machines and other corporate IT for reuse, secure refurbishment and redistribution to...
Logitech’s Signature Slim Solar+ K980 lands in India as a bold iteration of an old idea: a full-size, laptop‑style keyboard that claims to eliminate charging and disposable batteries by harvesting light from any source and storing it in a proprietary, long‑life battery. The company’s Logi...
Microsoft’s virtual datacenter tour — presented through partners and event organizers including ChannelEye’s December 1, 2025 session — pulls back the curtain on the physical and engineering backbone that runs Azure, Microsoft 365 and the company’s expanding AI services, and it arrives at a...
Microsoft’s decision to open a new Azure cloud region in Johor Bahru — announced as the “Southeast Asia 3” region — marks the next phase of an already sizable push into Malaysia and Southeast Asia, expanding on the Malaysia West launch earlier this year and reinforcing the company’s positioning...
