Google Goes Green By Going Black

Anyone seen this?

Apparently, it takes less energy to produce a black screen than white. So google is now saving energy.

Sorry if it's a D_B.

 

No.

Blackle is a for-profit website powered by Google Custom Search and run by Heap Media Australia, which aims to save energy by displaying a black background color for search result , Similar to that of the non profit equivalent Trophic.org.uk which offers the same service with the added incentive of being solar powered, Blackle is currently launching its own search engine, ditching the Google Custom Searchpages.[1][2]

 

Thanks TSP. I just had it sent to me via email and explained to me the simple way I explained it.

 

thanks a lot . I clicked on link and my screen went black.

I had to do partial restoration to get it back to normal

 

Many Kentuckians still sing about of Blackle. [crossthreadreach]

 

From our techies: the energy differential is so marginal, they probably used more energy developing it than everyone would by switching from Google to Blackle.

 

Once you go Blackle, you never go backle.

 

Oh, that was terrible, Batman.

 

Just taking a hack at a hanging curve, TBF.

 

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

 

Back in Blackle!
Hit the sackle!
Been so long I'm glad to be backle!

 

There are few things on this earth I hate more than white type on ANY color background... kills my eyes...damn kids, get off my lawn!
