It's a stupid ploy. Google obviously want to show that they care. Carbon footprints and all that crap

Don't black pixels use more power on an LCD?

I have no idea. Either way I bet it keeps "Friends of the Earth" off their back.

They are just doing that to make money, not save the environment

Apparantly not

"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."

My Google has always been black anyway, so no change here (Firefox user style)

Looks quite good actually, very different but easier on the eyes

Well that was a shock to the system.

Yep. I opened FF and thought I'd broken something. So I checked in Opera and the same! :eek:

OMGZ

Phew I thought when I saw the Earth Hour link.

If I turn my lights out between 8.00 - 9.00pm how am I supposed to see anything?

Turn the brightness up on your monitor to compensate

Are you using Firefox? If so check out Stylish extension.

I got rick roll'd and had to end task firefox (some dodgey one, the window kept jumping when you try to close it!) then when I opened firefox again google was black - thought the rick roll had broke my settings!

black backgrounds and white text are bad on the eyes I think.

Really? I find white text on a dark background easier to read

FFS. I'm sick of this hippy tripe. I refuse to save energy why China/India/USA don't!

I recycle 95% of waste. That's my bit

*goes around turning all the lights on*
