I like the fact that my homepage = http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en and not www.google.com so I don't see it.
Guys it was for a GOOD cause, it's not STUPID! Whoever says that should be shot, it's letting people aware of the earth's awareness and definitely got your attention, and everyone elses. It was for one day, it was VERY creative for google to do that. Oh well, enough said.
It was a great idea to help remind those of us to conserve energy and what not. Novel to say the least on part of Google. One of the few things I like of them.
Every little bit helps. Turn off your PC or at least your monitor when your not using it. Lights, fans, etc. Regardless of the overall world energy conservation, with raising energy costs why not save several bucks a month by turning things off when they're not needed.
