Try Blackling

Este vorba despre Blackle, motor de cautare google cu backround-ul negru.
Se zice ca a fost creat pentru a salva energie.
Totul a plecat de la un domn pe nume Mark Ontkush, care a postat pe blogul sau http://ecoiron.blogspot.com un post care zice asa, si acum o sa ii dau paste si copy deoarece imi este lene sa sciu:

As noted, an all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. I thought I would do a little math and see what could be saved by moving a high volume site to the black format.Take at look at Google, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let's assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background [on a CRT monitor! mjo] will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the monitors in the world are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that's $75,000, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes.

Si uite asa a aparut Blackle.
Try it my friends.
Pana in acest moment au fost economisiti 288,591.475 Watt ora.

E a doua oara cand gasesc un post despre Blackle. Didn't switch(yet). Am o curiozitate: Tu il folosesti in noul outfit?
