http://blackle.com/

blackle.com is powered by google, and works in the same way. But while google is mostly white, blackle uses a mostly black interface. This makes your computer use up less energy. Yeah, an all black screen takes less to keep up than all white. Go figure.

Anyway, blackle is simple and easy, and if you use it instead of google, given how often people uses google, a lot of energy will be saved.

I guess you hate the environment too?

It’s neat that they would do that...is there any way to get that google bar thing at the top of my firefox to send me there instead?

Anyway, it still seems hypocriticalish to me that google would not use this interface as a norm...imagine how much engery that would save.
Instead they’ll get to write off blackle as one more thing google is doing to “save then environment” without acually doing jack shit.

But still, now that you’ve brought it to our attention I’ll be using that.

They’ve saved less than half a megawatt-hour.

That’s shit.

What little good they’ve done has probably been reversed by the energy used to power their servers.

Edit: Having done the math, they’ve essentially spared a medium sized nuclear power plant from running for 1.8 seconds.

Pahaha.

Wow.

Cool, but a lot of people would have to buy into it for it to work effectively.

And, frankly, we need to think about making our hardware less energy hogging than worrying about what pixels are being rendered.

You could always reduce brightness too.

Oh, and buy 45nm chipsets.

And turn off your shit when not in use.

And reduce processes running when they are senseless.

Or go outside and get some squirrels to power your house by running on wheels.
