Google Earth Hour

Google Earth Hour
**** Google

Google users in the United Kingdom will notice today that we "turned the lights out" on the Google.co.uk homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour. As to why we don't do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display. However, you can do something to reduce the energy consumption of your home PC by joining the Climate Savers Computing Initiative.

Yes I noticed that, I thought my blasted PC had a virus for a minute!

..but white is a total presence of colour and black is an absence of colour (or is it the other way round?). Surely one display uses more atoms than the other, or am I being unscientifically thick?

Perhaps I should stick to the law where black and white are the same.

LCD and Plasma screen technologies actually generate the black colour. There's no true black on a TFT monitor.

"1996: Docklands bomb ends IRA ceasefire
The IRA has admitted planting the bomb that exploded in the Docklands area of London last night."

The Irish IRA are all now believed to be "muzzers" I expect.

I was talking about the lights that were still on during the Earth Hour mentioned in the Metro paper.
