I Almost Forgot

Remember when I said that "Blackle.com" was more environment-friendly? Well, turns out, it's not. According to an article that Sistah Girl found, blackle is only effective with CRT monitors, which are pretty much outdated. With LCD monitors, found in most computers/laptops/whatever, it actually takes more energy to produce the black background than the colored one of Google fame. I will look it up myself later when I am in need of something to help me procrastinate, but yeah, unless you're stuck with a 1980s-style comp, I'm pretty sure it's safe to go back to the Googlemeister. Oh, Google, how could I ever have forsaken thee?! Never again, my love. Never again.

The video has been deleted :(
I'm sure 'twas funny, though!

I was under the impression that Google actually owned Blackle, thus not taking any money from the former. I could be wrong, however.

Ah, the importance of doing your research!
