The publication said the bulk of the waste typically occurs when the unit is preparing to print after sitting idle for some time. "We accept that printer maintenance is required for optimal printing, and that not all printers can be as miserly as the most frugal model we found," said Paul Reynolds, electronics editor of Consumer Reports. "But, if manufacturers can make some printers that are frugal, why can’t they better apply those design lessons to make more models use ink efficiently?" The complete report is available at the link below. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/ink0813.htm _____________________________________________ o Study: Worldwide Developer Population to Top 26 Million by 2019 Santa Cruz, Calif. -- Despite expected slow growth in North America, the worldwide developer population is expected to balloon to 26.4 million by 2019, up from 18.2 million today, according to a new study Santa Cruz-based Evans Data.

"APAC has shown the strongest growth for several years," said Janel Garvin, the CEO of Evans Data. "India is, of course, the main powerhouse that's driving such a strong surge in developers in that region, but China is also starting to come online and we expect that once it hits its potential China will become a rival to India on sheer numbers of developers." http://www.evansdata.com/press/viewRelease.php?pressID=200 _____________________________________________ o Briefly Noted: (Oakland) Oakland-based Social Interest Solutions (SIS), a nonprofit focused on leveraging technology to improve consumers' access to health and human services, said on Friday it has appointed Thomas Donovan, Andrew Hyman, Charles Marshall and Terri Shaw as new board members.
