[NetBehaviour] Fwd: BLACKLE

[Helen Varley Jamieson]

>>Folks,
>>
>>We probably all use google several times a day - here's something 
>>to consider:
>>
>>When your screen is white, be it an empty word page, or the Google 
>>page, your computer consumes 74 watts, and when its black it 
>>consumes only 59 watts. 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, worked out at a saving of 750 mega 
>>watts/hour per year.
>>
>>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:
