Ninja It!

So a few weeks ago I read about this post that said we would save 3000 megawatts amount of energy per year if Google had a black background instead of a white background.

The original article is here:

A blogger site was created based on the idea:

From Energy Star the amount to power each color:

Of course this supposedly only had effects on CRT's, which are still out there, my parents have one. Thank goodness I do not. Anyways...someone also created a site with the domain http://www.ninja.com that uses Google's coop to get results from, but is done with a black background. I thought it was funny and interesting.
