Hi Friends,
It is a fact that google helps us a lot in our daily activities... so here goes a interesting news... Instead of Google logo, If your name appears in the logo how will you feel? feel like staring at it for hours together? Then check this site for which I'm addicted now...
http://www.mygoogle.co.in
Also it has
Eco-Friendly Search by saving monitor power and video memory
AJAX Enabled - Search Results in Same Page

....

So a nice change do adopt... Enjoy!

Interesting

Not sure it saves power, but it looks fun.

Steve,

For Eco-Friendly we need to click the Eco-Friendly version link in the main page which will bring full black window. So normal CRT monitors will consume less power and needs less video memory for a black screen.. I did a research on this... They say it is true with the case of CRT Monitors... 🙂

I think you're right for CRTs. Seems like so many people in the US use LCDs now I'm forgetting there are lots of CRTs still out there.

Wow, that's a lot! Definitely use the black version if you're a CRT user.

Heh heh! It doesn't have a profanity checker. At least two of my colleagues have something along the lines of "FindTheF****r"!
