Schimbari de dragul schimbarii

La atentionarea lui Radu am decis sa schimb interfata blogului. Si inspiratia a venit de la google care de la inceputul anului a introdus o noua pagina de cautari identica cu homepage-ul google insa cu un fundal negru “www.blackle.com”


Ei zic ca au facut acest lucru petru a contribui la salvarea planetei prin economisirea de energie (conform unui studiu prezentat de cei de la google o pagina internet pe fundal alb consuma cu 15 wati mai mult decat cele pe fundal negru). Pe site-ul Blackle(www.blackle.com) informatii cu energia salvata.
Carcotasii zic ca e doar o strategie de marketing pentru a creste traficul pe noul site google.
Oricum ar fi, ideea e ca de azi blogul meu e negru.
P.S.: Ca sa carcotesc si eu, economisirea se intampla numai in cazul monitoarelor CRT, la LCD-uri fiind acelasi consum sau chiar putin mai mare conform wikipedia
(”The technique only works on CRT, LED (including OLED) and plasma monitors. LCD monitors and DLP projectors will show no improvement. In fact, in LCD monitors, power is required to turn pixels black (they are white, or rather clear by default), so using Blackle on such screens will actually increase power usage very slightly. According to the figures given by Mark Ontkush in his original article, 75% of monitors in active use are LCDs.The power saving issue is not clear, as some LCD monitors have been obvserved to use less power when displaying Blackle. Experiments with several IBM Thinkvision LCDs showed they use 2W (~5%) less power when displaying Blackle vs Google (with browser in fullscreen mode) .The power saving effect is only applicable to older CRT based monitors, but on old CRTs, which tend to be darker, Blackle's tiny-grey-text-on-a-black-background is barely readable. In other words, Blackle is only really usable on modern screens, where it consumes more power than the normal Google page”)
