By the way, it’s my understanding that LCDs actually consume more power displaying black than white (although the marginal cost is MUCH smaller). So maybe the econ geeks can tell us what ratio of LCDs to CRTs it would take for a white Google homepage to be more eco-friendly than a black one?
In the meantime, I’m going to start restyling all of my web pages with alternate eco-palette CSS. Yeah, that sounds like a very productive use of my time. 
PS and apropos nothing above — Loving John Mayer’s new album, “Continuum”.
