This is a customized Google search engine, in all black colors. The idea is to save battery on portable devices such as PDAs, smart phones, laptops and such. Since the white background otherwise found on pages takes up some of the energy in order to keep those pixels lit all the time (and there are many when you take the whole screen into consideration). I couldn’t find some actual data pertaining to energy saving, but I will try to update this post with any energy saving information in the near future. Anyway, even if you don’t need to save your battery, try Blackle.com . Maybe you’ll like the fact that you can actually rest your eyes a little from the stronger glare produced by all white/bright backgrounds.
