google blackle

by jl2k5
Saviez-vous qu'une recherche sur Google consommait autant d'énergie qu'une lampe de 11 Watts allumée pendant 1 heure ? Nous venons d'apprendre que Google a réagi suite à cette prise de conscience; en mettant le fond d'écran de Google en noir (au lieu de blanc), on s'est aperçu que l'on pouvait économiser 750 mega Watt/Heure par an !

Blackle - Energy Saving Search

by sbrothier & 11 others (via)
Powered by Google, Blackle was created on the premise that a black, as opposed to a white, computer screen saves a significant amount of energy. Multiply that by the number of searches conducted a day and we're on to something. We know that not everyone is crazy about the look of a black screen, but part of this sustainable design gig is about examining our perceptions of beauty. Maybe if the bevel and embossed logotype were tweaked just a bit.
