We hope you all like our new look, re-skinned Blog pages. The screen is black, as this reduces the power consumption on your computer (it doesn't take as much power to show a black screen as it does a lighter colour of screen).
In the same vain, Blackle.com has been launched. This is a search engine, running with the backup of Google, but with a black screen to reduce energy consumption. Blackle.com - Saving energy one search at a time.

"The aim of Blackle is to remind people of the need to take small steps every day to save energy. We do not expect the energy savings from Blackle to change the world on their own, but the point of Blackle is that every little bit counts. We hope that the flow on effect from people using Blackle and thinking more about other things they can do to save energy will make a significant difference. To further this flow on effect we have added a section to Blackle packed with energy saving tips."
