Now Google in Black

Your Simple shift form the normal goolge to Black would make a big difference in the environment …. Spread this word across and save the energy…….



Thanks to several Representah’s for the heads up - we’ve been hearing about BLACKLE for a couple of days now - the so-called “eco-friendly version of Google” - we finally got the time to check it out and research it a bit - the email that’s circulating explains Blackle as the following:

For those worried with energy consumption and all its downsides… When your screen is white, being it an empty word page, or the Google page, your computer consumes 74 watts, and when its black it consumes only 59 watts. So
a man named Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to his calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year
would be saved. In a response to this article Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but with a lower energy consumption, check it out.

version that allows you to change the text colors of the google search

results. Try it yourself by going to www.cleanblack.com/theme/
