Help Save Energy with Google’s Blackle.com
By philobean | August 10, 2007
“If Google had a black screen, taking in[to] account the huge number of page views [the site generates], according to calculations, 750 megawatts per hour per year will be saved.”
Google, in a display of environmental awareness and social responsibility, launched <www.Blackle.com>, an exact replica of <www.Google.com> with a black (instead of white) backdrop. Spread the word! Though the text’ll be a tad bit harder to read, this much savings in energy will be worth the incremental effort.
Plus, it looks cool (at the very least, the goths will surely like it). Set it as your home page now (most especially if you’re an Internet Cafe). No better way to promote it within your household and your community than that (with the exceptions of spamming and blogging, of course).

Nice! That is why I like using a Black Desktop Background. However, while working on a document or presentation, black backgrounds are to work with.

There are around 25 different versions of “black google” online. The best one I’ve found is www.cleanblack.com. Cleanblack is the only version that allows you to change the text colors of the google search results. Try it yourself by going to www.cleanblack.com/theme/
