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....

I checked and it appears that Blackle (gray print on a black screen) has validity. My problem with it is that it is hard for me to read.

Just experimenting with some ways of providing screen dimming through judicious use of low energy characters. Maybe we could go to all capital letters in bold....



It's good to know that given the low level of technical knowledge in the world there's a lucrative future in conmanship.
