An anonymous reader writes "For the Linux kernel power regressions that were found a few months ago, and hit in Ubuntu 11.04, Phoronix has found the regression that's still present in the Linux 3.0 kernel. The power regression is caused by a change in ASPM, the Active-State Power Management, for PCI Express support."

The headline demonstrates a skill that the Linux community seems to lack: the modern corporate marketing mindset. What the Linux community should have done is used this extra power consumption to their advantage: Linux, now more powerful than ever!*

* more powerful based on the amount of energy used to perform the same tasks
