C'mon Lets Save Each Other
Doug shouldn't be called an idiot just because he wrote a blog that might be in fact, TRUE.
People shouldn't be criticized when taking an effort to help the ONLY planet we get to live on!
most things created have function and meaning.
I had no idea or else my myspace wouldn't have been all black most of its days.
Environmentally
Environmentally consciousness is great, but 1 hour of lights off is not going to help (much).
The black Google homepage is more distracting than anything when I trying to find some information. Luckily, I could use the Firefox search bar to quickly find what I needed.
I disagree
Google did not claim that a black screen saved energy. In fact, they wrote that it did not save energy. They used a black screen was only used to promote turning out lights.

You've missed the whole point.
The screen could have been blue, red, green or whatever colour you like - the immediate conservation of energy is not the point of the exercise. I'm reading this article because of the google stunt - so mission accomplished to me and millions of others who will no doubt do the same and be made aware of Earth Day.
Perhaps what comes from this will save energy in the future as people are encouraged to change attitudes.

We're all aware, now STFU you pretentious asshole.
Google Observes Earth Hour, Gets Energy Issue Backward
