SAVE ENERGY BY USING AN ALTERNATE SEARCH ENGINE...


How is Blackle saving energy?
Blackle was created by Heap Media to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.
Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002
In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.
We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.
Guyz hope u all use Blackle whenever u want to perform a google search...try to ware ure family and frnds about it!...tc..

Broadband Scheduler allows you to Schedule Internet Connection

A broadband connection gives you easy and speedy access to data over the Internet, but at the same time these connections are not cheap as well. Most of the connection charges depends on how much data you download, so it is better to have a control of how much time you are connected toInternet. Some broadband plans gives you unlimited access during night. Broadband Scheduler is highly useful as it helps the user to set the time when the computer will automatically enable the Internet connection and start downloading by using other download applications like uTorrent, BitTorrent, FlashGet and other download manger software.

BroadBand Scheduler

This Broadband Scheduler application will automatically disable the Internet at the closing time we set. We can also set to shutdown the computer at the closing time. Another feature is that, user can set to open (start) the download applications like uTorrent, BitTorrent, FlashGet and other download manger software at the time of enabling the connection.

This tool allows you to schedule for both types of connection- Dial up and auto connection. In dial up, users connect to Broadband manually by using Dial-up connection setup and in auto connection, system is connected toInternet at start up itself.

This is a very useful tool if you want to download data only during free Internet hours or during night time only. This application requires .Net framework for functioning.
