Me thinks Sylvie Barack should find something more legitimate / compelling to cover. Mind you she is writing for The Inquirer. . . . .

"However, the power consumption difference between Google and Blackle on all 23 LCD monitors was as small as you could get - an increase of 100mW (0.1Watts). So after all that testing, we're in a better position to say that anyone else that Blackle makes next to no difference, on average, with LCD monitors."

I don't get it. Are you allowed to link to things you don't read now as long as you agree with Notorious Genius Mikey Arrington?

You asked him to read before posting. Perhaps you should learn to read before making a fool of yourself.
