I’m using at the moment BLACKOOGLE, which is similar to blackle but offers a lot more functionality like image search, youtube search, mail access, etc. And looks nicer too, give it a try!

There is also the Carbon Neutral Search Engine, they offset each search by 100g of CO2 ... (or black background for CRT monitors)

I prefer using http://www.Darkoogle.com as their text are green which reduce eye strain. So instead of saving energy from our monitor, it also save our user’s eye energy.

Hah! That’s great Niqkita, I was just thinking the same thing today while hanging out the window for a smoke…

Greygle would hilariously solve all of our problems! And it could even be red and green combined for Xmas!

I too am overwhelmed by all the damned options and confusing/conflicting info to be had. Can we just stick with grey and hope to land safely in the middle? ~;P

Yeah – I was wondering, while looking at the shiny black screen presented on their site via my shiny bright screened laptop if the black color was actually not being produced via lights…

But even if CRTs are going the wayside, I’d still wager that the majority of screens are CRT (think big offices where they have dozens and dozens of computers that have yet to be replaced – plus at the office I used to work in, the IT guy wouldn’t even buy us LCDs as he said they had a shorter lifespan than the hunkomonsters).

Also, given the fact that black is the absence of light while white is the presence of light’s full spectrum, all of this is beginning to confuse me…why does humanity insist on defeating the very fabric of nature?

We did this with colors on earth – when it comes to light the above is true, but when you’re talking about mixing paint colors, the opposite is true.

I just can’t handle living in a world where there are options.
