"…If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page

views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be

saved."

In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called

Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously

with lower energy consumption:

Help spread the word… use www.blackle.com

and it looks cool.....

[EDIT: The search engine is not actually from Google. It's from a third party and has since been taken down or is receiving too many hits. Plus, it's under debate about whether or not black pixels use less energy that white pixels. : ( But it still looked cool.]

Neato! That is so going to be what I use instead of boring 'ole Google.

Yeah, isn't that sweet? I still don't know how I can make Blackle be the one that my Google toolbar uses. Do you know? Still, pretty damn cool.

Blackle's been my default page for some time now. I think it's appropriately Gothic.
