    First you can not read the page or follow the link. Now I am doubting you understand the meaning of pretentious. Maybe you need sleep...

    There is a permanent black version of google: www.blackle.com

    Supposedly uses less power than google, due to it's black background.

    Well, it seems Google dispute that it saves power:
    ... As to why we don't do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display ...
