[Jay]

Erm; Google

To save energy, I assume. Same thing as Blackle - Energy Saving Search does.

Less white pixels less energy, something like that.

OK, seems daza beat me to it (I was too lazy to read it), seems what I said is wrong.

Yes, well, I did say that before I'd read the link : Then I edited to say I was apparently wrong. So, you're right, "NO!".

Don't TFTs use more energy displaying black than white, anyway....?
