Google is killing the planet, or something
TweetAlong the line of Austin Hill’s Dark Green PC, there are people out there making sure that all that whitespace on Google.com isn’t wasting energy (up to 750 megawatt-hours per year, some people say).
The solution: Blackle. You’ll find it easier on the eyes at night, too.

Who has a CRT monitor these days?
The poor, the 2nd/3rd world, and people that generally don’t care to update their machines… which adds up to a fair number, I imagine. :)
ooh its the goth google!
What’s really killing the planet is my addiction to the computer! It’s past midnight and I’m writing this… I should be in bed! ;-)
Once again, the internet provides a solution to a problem that never existed.
Graphic designers prefer CRT over LCD because of true color issues.
blackwebsearch.com (says it’s powered by Google)
Good link – Thanks.
I also find it has the added benefit of NOT automatically redirecting or giving me google.ca results instead of google.com results.
yep! i noticed that too.
