But Energy is only 1 part of the concern, there is also the myth of the internet bandwidth being limited. ( http://news.cnet.com/2100-1034_3-6237715.html ) and various articles covered in the past few months have all been focused around how Ineternet usage and bandwidth would be 50 times more than today and the content created then would jam the internet space. Typically utilization of bandwidth and usage is directly proportional to the no.,quality & results of QUERIES that a user inputs from the moment he logs on. These queries can be as simple as searching, or as intense as uploading. At the end of it, its all about minimizing the no. of queries. We are trying to research the potential ways of minimizing these queries by pre-defining most searched "keywords" & "categories". By not entering any search query, or typing for searches you would be skipping multiple steps and help in saving energy and bandwidth. If we all try and add to this pre-defined list of searches, we can help save far more energy, bandwidth and money. Help us all move towards the green technology. http://www.lazii.com (currently in beta stage)[/quote] [quote=Ankur Dewani]Considering that blackle works only on CRT it might be a waste when it comes to our new tech of Plasmas and LCD’s using liquid display….

The best one I’ve found is www.cleanblack.com. Cleanblack is the only version that allows you to change the text colors of the google search results.
