Windows 95 just turned 31 years old and we’re revisiting that iconic operating system with a question: Ever wondered why the Windows 95 installation CD also contained a Weezer music video, a trailer for the Rob Roy film, and cartoons by Bill Plympton? You know, stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the Windows operating system? According to Raymond Chen, a long-time Windows developer at Microsoft, “Because it was fun!” Back in January 2006, the Windows veteran wrote in a blog post : Why did the Windows 95 CD have extra fun stuff, like the “Good Times” and “Buddy Holly” music videos, the Rob Roy trailer, and the cartoons by Bill Plympton? Because it was fun! Why does one have to justify having fun? In addition to the multimedia fun, there was also video game fun, with the addition of Pinball and the mercifully-forgotten hovercraft game Hover! (Some of us thought it was so awful, we secretly called it Hoover! ) More recently, in February 2026, Raymond Chen wrote another blog post that answers how Microsoft got permission to include the Weezer music video on the Windows 95 installation CD. Regarding the music itself: First, Microsoft had to secure the rights to the song itself, which was negotiated directly with Weezer’s publisher Geffen Records, and apparently without the knowledge of the band members themselves. They were reportedly upset that they weren’t consulted but later realized that it was “one of the greatest things that could have happened to us. Can you imagine that happening today? It’s like, there’s one video on YouTube, and it’s your video.” And then regarding the music video: The video takes place in a reconstruction of a location from the Happy Days television program, and clips from that show were spliced into the music video to create the illusion that many of the characters from the show were part of the video. The lawyer responsible for securing the rights to the video had to contact all of the actors from Happy Days to get their permission. That lawyer thoroughly enjoyed the assignment. I don’t know whether he got to talk to the actors directly, or only to their agents, but I can imagine it being an interesting experience trying to find Henry Winkler’s telephone number (or his agent’s telephone number) with a chance of talking to The Fonz himself.

Digital Realty's new Jurong Island location will expand its Singapore platform with AI-ready, sustainable capacity designed to support the country's next chapter of digital growth AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), the world's largest cloud- and carrier-neutral data center platform, today announced it has been selected under Singapore's second Data Center Call for Application (DC-CFA2), with a provisional allocation of 50 megawatts (MW) of capacity to develop a new data center at Jurong Town Corporation's low-carbon data center park on Jurong Island - a milestone that reinforces Singapore's position as a trusted, connected and sustainable digital infrastructure hub for Asia. The selection marks the next phase of Digital Realty's long-term growth in Singapore and will expand the company's ability to support customers deploying the next wave of AI inference, high-performance computing and enterprise digital workloads across Asia Pacific. Purpose-built for Singapore's digital economy priorities, the new facility will be designed to meet DC-CFA2's requirements for best-in-class energy efficiency and power more than 50% of its capacity through green energy pathways. Digital Realty was selected through an open competitive process led by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). The awarded proposals were recognized for their ability to strengthen Singapore's position as a trusted hub for AI, digital infrastructure and network connectivity, as well as to contribute to innovation and economic development, and advance the country's sustainability objectives. "Singapore has long been a strategic market for Digital Realty, and we are honored to be selected under DC-CFA2 at such an important moment for the country's digital future," said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty. "Through DC-CFA2, we plan to expand on Jurong Island with next-generation AI-ready infrastructure. Sustainability is central to how we operate at Digital Realty, and we are committed to scaling responsibly as demand grows. We are grateful to the Singapore Government, lead agencies, our customers and partners for their continued trust and collaboration, and to our employees whose dedication makes this possible. We look forward to providing additional infrastructure to sustainably serve our customers in this leading global digital hub," she continued. Singapore has been a cornerstone of Digital Realty's Asia Pacific strategy since establishing operations in the country in 2010. Today, it is home to Digital Realty's regional Asia Pacific headquarters, Global Command Center, and three operational data centers with approximately 84 MW of combined capacity - giving the company a deep operating base from which to support Singapore's continued growth as a regional digital hub. Demand for digital infrastructure continues to grow as organizations expand cloud adoption, digital services, and enterprise data processing. AI is accelerating this growth across industries, including financial services, technology, logistics, and healthcare - sectors where Singapore plays an important regional role. As enterprises increasingly deploy AI in production, infrastructure requirements are also evolving. AI inference requires workloads to be located closer to users and enterprise data, supported by strong connectivity, resilience, and security. Singapore's combination of connectivity, trusted governance, and highly developed digital ecosystem positions it to play an increasingly important role in supporting these workloads across the region. Once operational, Digital Realty's fourth Singapore data center is expected to strengthen this role by expanding the capacity available for high-value AI and enterprise deployments, connecting customers to its global PlatformDIGITAL ecosystem. The new facility will expand Digital Realty's interconnected Singapore campus and is connected globally via ServiceFabric, a service orchestration platform that connects the campus with other Digital Realty and 3rd party data centers globally to enable seamless connectivity, data exchange, and workload deployment across sites. The new Jurong Island facility will also build on Digital Realty's longstanding sustainability initiatives in Singapore. The company's existing Singapore operations already achieve 100% renewable energy coverage through direct retail energy agreements with Tuas Power. Digital Realty has also collaborated with IMDA on Singapore's tropical data center standard, demonstrating that higher chilled-water operating temperatures can improve energy efficiency without compromising operational resilience. Drawing on the tropical data center standard, Digital Realty increased operating temperatures by 2C across two data halls, reducing overall energy consumption by approximately 2-3% during the pilot period. In addition, Digital Realty uses sophisticated Building Management Systems to monitor more than 30,000 infrastructure points across its Singapore facilities, including real-time Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). Digital Realty plans to continue investing in resilient digital infrastructure, advancing energy and resource efficiency, and deepening local partnerships that support innovation, talent development and Singapore's long-term digital competitiveness.
