Blackle the new Google Black

A black version of Google Search, mind you, it is not the official Google nor recognize by Google itself. Blackle as it is called is a custom search engine powered by Google, it claimed that it require more energy to power a display that is white in colour, but we have to take note that this only applies to conventional CRT monitor and not LCDs.
Someone is out there to make a quick profit from cheap publicity. Reminds me of Google Mirror – A mirrored version of Google.
Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. “Image displayed is primarily a function of the user’s color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen.” Roberson et al, 2002
