Hi,
Neat about the picksels and CRT's. I am flying down possibly this
summer to set up a computer lab. I will be using CRT's, so I will look
at this.
Thanks,
Alex,

Yahoo! and Google both provide ways for developers to reuse their
search results. This is just one independent company reusing
Google's search results to power a search page with a black
background. The search page is not the same as Google's.
Google turned their own search page black for one day (Earth Day
2008):

From what I've read, there do seem to be significant power savings
with black pixels rather than white pixels on cathode ray tube (CRT)
monitors. Power savings on LCD screens are apparently either lower
or even inverted:

To take advantage of any such power savings on a Mac, it would
arguably make more sense for users to set all pages to use white
text on black backgrounds or use the system's inbuilt ability to
invert colors.
