Google Blackout For Earth Hour
Looks like Google has turned the lights out! Why? Well for Earth Hour of course. Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone.
Google users in the United States will notice today that we “turned the lights out” on the Google.com 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.
I have read post about how much energy Google would save if they changed the homepage to black. I’m glad they pointed out why they keep it white. Aside from the fact that it looks terrible in black. If they were going to changes colors they should use THIS color scheme.
