"Sadly enough, you seem to not understand the campaign. Earth hour = turn off lights for an hour. The black page is probably a promo to encourage people to turn the lights off so the page simulates turning the lights off...."

Sadly enough, you don't seem to recognize the blogger's intention. Mr. Carlson was pointing out the irony of Google's gesture leading to more consumption of energy.

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

They even recommend turning your computer off for an hour.

Read! Read! before you post! Great moments in Valleywag PR, a blogger that does not read before posting. Sad...

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?

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