Hi Latha, today only i came across this thread. Thanks for the information. I like the black background in Blackle. Mythily
When I passed this info to my friends, one of them googled on this and gave me this reply "We(google) applaud the spirit of the idea, but our own analysis as well as that of others shows that making the Google homepage black will not reduce energy consumption. To the contrary, on flat-panel monitors (already estimated to be 75% of the market), displaying black may actually increase energy usage. Detailed results from a new study confirm this — Bill Weihl, Green Energy Czar, Google" Keep your monitor turned off, you will save all the power !!! It is a custom search engine provided by google to its publishers. Anyone can post google's custom search engine in their website and generate revenue. This guy Blackle is false claiming in emails as "google black version" and inturn expects heavy traffic which may generate high revenue. it is not to save enerry but to browse blackle.com I am not sure which of these claims is true, Just thought of placing these comments across ILites
Title has to change It's not Blackle by GOOGLE.. Its just BLACKLE An Australian company developed this using the google custom search engine. Which anybody can own and use. Google has nothing to do with it Also, their theory is not accepted nor validated by any common organization and thus you never know Reality - After every usage.. please switch off your system. Never leave it in standby mode.. This include any appliances.. Please watch inconvenient truth movie by Al gore. - There are lots you can do and this I don;t think falls under that umbrella but hey, black lovers.. sure can use 'em
