    And what's particularly dumb is that most monitors in use are LCD's now. It takes no less energy to draw a white pixel than a black pixel. Of all people, Google should know that.

    yes but those who made the decision are probably the corporate types at the top who are unable to tie their own shoes and have no concept what so ever of the real world.

    They do know, as eveidenced by their explanation of their color change. In their opinion, it was simply the best way to spread awareness of the hour.

    You know, instead of shutting down their 500,000 servers and the thousands of air conditioning systems needed to cool them.

    Mountain View, in the valley? Good name.

    We have a road near hear called Rio Vista. It's NEAR a river, but you can't SEE the river from there. I don't know what they were thinking! On the other hand, there's a road at the very top of the next ridge called Hilltop Lane! :techman:
