I have my desktop set to black, and he could not understand why. He keeps setting it to blue because that is the standard. I just return it to black. My own little battle.

That's really interesting. I saw Google Black and thought is was a joke because they offered no explanation. Thank you, that makes so much sense. I should darken other things on my computer so that it saves energy. Like maybe a black theme from Firefox. You should make your site darker in honor of this. Anyway, I'm dropping in from Entrecard just to say hi! Wow! That’s really interesting. I saw Google Black and thought is was a joke because they offered no explanation.

Basically, this does absolutely nothing with most displays. Take the bus to work once a month or something, it will probably help more. Yep, Martin is right.

Modern flat screens are efficient and the difference that Blackle could make is negligable. Best way to save energy is to ALWAYS power down completely. the converters for all your DC powered gear use power even when the device is turned off.
