My very tech-savvy across-the-street neighbor invited me to our weekly block Cocktail Club meeting and had some exciting news - especially for laptop users. Google has a new search service called "Blackle". It works the same way that Google does except that the page is black instead of white. This saves energy, because a black screen uses less battery power than a white screen does. I never knew that!
On the screen, there is a little box showing you how much energy you are actually saving. And as near as I can tell, it's just as fast as a Google search.
