BLACKLE


Blackle is custom version of Google search engine developed by Heap Media from Australia. This web has some identical applications with Google but it does not fully belong to Google Incorporation. Different from Google, Blackle has black-colored background with grey text so this web is often known as Black Google. In fact, the use of the dark-colored background is predicted to be able to save 750 megawatt-hour electrical powers. A research has claimed that dark-colored background needs less 20% power than the bright one so Blackle looks more efficient. Unfortunately, according to another research, the energy saving is only valid for CRT screen, not for LCD.
