Just discovered "Blackle". It is "Google" except t hebackground is black. Apparently it saves energy by noyt using the white background. Why GOOGLE just doesn't switch to black is confusing (marketing is my guess) but give it a shot - spread the word.
it doesn't actually save any energy:

nice
and on top of it, its not even its own search engine, its just a site with a google search bar in it...
and the amount of time people spend on google's homepage is minimal seeing as the average search time is under a second
and as studies show, non-CRT monitors (which includes all laptop monitors) which most people don't use anymore show no change contrary to what blackle says...thus shey state on their website that "The main aim of Blackle is to remind people of the need to take small steps to save energy in their everyday lives."
and until blackle can offer me the features that google does...it's a no go
