Working on a computer is a sitting job, so if you spend every day working, coding or typing – you need some sort of physical exercises to keep your body healthy. But what if you combine these two activities? No, I don’t speak about sports Sims – I am talking about something closer to real sport activity. Steelcase shows us what that combination will look like.

This big gadget, called a Walkstation, combines a usual computer workplace and a treadmill. So when you are typing something or surfing the Web you are not sitting as always, but you can run or simply walk. We don’t know if PC is powered by this treadmill, but imagine if you needed to walk in order to keep your computer powered! Just a wild idea… Gaming would literally become a run to the checkpoint, and if you can’t keep up the pace – game will end.

Burning the dual layer DVD on a 2.4X speed would be equivalent to a non stop marathon, with a good reason to keep running. Sounds masochistic, but curious. Even if our ideas are not right, this piece of furniture can help you to remember about physical activities when working on your computer.

• Use a pair of headphones instead of the laptop’s speakers, because these ones consume much more current
• Select an adequate energy conservation profile in Windows
• Decrease screen’s luminosity as much as possible
• Disable radio controllers that you don’t need. Ex: WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G
• Disable ports you don’t need. Ex: serial/parallel port, Firewire port, fingerprint reader
• Turn off the software that you don’t use
• Don’t run software that intensively uses the notebook’s components. Ex: games, unpacker, audio/video convertors, web-pages with lots of flashes
• Don’t use the peripherals such as :USB mouse, external hard-disks, USB sticks, Express Cards and any other type of peripheral
• Use the latest versions of drivers for your system. These ones bring, besides additional functions and optimizations for the existing ones, especially current consumption
• If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, a very good method of increasing the autonomy is to disable window animation at minimization/maximization, to disable transparency effects and also to disable the Aero interface
