http://www.blackle.com/ Apparently, when your screen is white - an empty word page, or the white Google page, for example - your computer consumes 74 watts. When the screen is black it consumes only 59 watts. Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen. Taking into account the huge number of page views, he calculated 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved with a black screen. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quiz: The Almost Impossible Rock & Roll Quiz http://download.rbn.com/rstone/rstone/download/photo/rock_quiz/rock_quiz_pop.html Give yourself some time to take this test.
