"...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 has 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: Spread the word... instead of
google.com, use
www.blackle.comIf everyone switched to blackle, you would be doing the world a great service! So while we can't exactly reduce our computer usage with the massive amounts of emails coming at us everyday, let us try to reduce a teeny weeny bit of electricity used by us! SPREAD THE MSG OKAY.
