| TreeHugger Mark Ontkush wrote a post on his blog EcoIron titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year. The post lays out the following train of thought. "An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts." Google, which has a white background and gets about "200 million queries a day" could reduce global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the color of its homepage to black. In response to this post a black version of Google emerged called Blackle.com. According to Blackle's homepage at publication time, 4,408.917 Watt hours have been saved by . Nice ideas.Just wanted to know how many of the SQLTeam regulars use Blackle vs. Google?Harsh AthalyeIndia."The IMPOSSIBLE is often UNTRIED" |

| Heh. Google Juice is something different. It means your site has a high PageRank in Google so your links to other sites really help them.===============================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.One crisis at a time. |

| There are around 18 different versions of black google online. The best one Ive found is www.cleanblack.com. Cleanblack is the only version that allows you to change the text colors of the google search results. Try it yourself by going to www.cleanblack.com/theme/ |
