“You know how Blackle is suppose to save energy?

Not so, per the following comment left on my original Blackle post:

Almost all the modern monitors are LCD monitors, as CRT monitors are obsolete. The so-called “Save Energy” seems to be a ploy by Blackle to attract more traffic to their site, as they earn money for every search made on their site”
