Easy one. When and why was this Google home page used?
Most of you got it. The page was to create awareness for Earth Hour, which took place on 29th March. This, however, has nothing to do with Blackle.com or any other website which claims to save energy by using a black screen.

Earth Day
used not really to conserve power.. LCD screens dont work on this theory. The black backgound was used just to highlight the sudden change in the webpage in order to attract people to the concept of Earth Day - At April 1, 2008 at 4:28 PM Unknown said...

blackle.com released on earth day because when black webpages are used less power is consumed
