Subject: Tech: Energy Efficent Search Engine
Did you know...
"If Google had a black screen, taking into 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 Blackle
To change your Google Page to the black version:
Select: Tools, Options, Homepage, insert http://www.blackle.com/ OK.
Then your home page will automatically open using Blackle
Oh, perhaps some caution should be used in case it is just a data mining site that gives nasty trojans....
