Go Easy on MySpace
A word of caution for overzealous MySpace designers who lean a little too heavily on the fuchsia-and-yellow: The display of certain colors requires more power out of computer monitors than others, with light colors using up to 20 percent more wattage than darker colors.
This fact actually lead to the creation of Blackle, an unofficial version of Google displayed on a globe-friendlier black background instead of Google's usual, energy-sucking white. It's estimated that if all of Google's users switched to Blackle, it would reduce worldwide energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours per year.
