Bing has announced yesterday that it will turn off the lights on their search site by making it darker, similar to what Google did 2008. It’s nice that Microsoft wants to spread the cause of saving the environment, but for those who did their research will know that it will use more energy to show black on flat panel screen that it does for other colors. Microsoft does note this by saying that “While a darker version of our page doesn’t save any energy over the regular version, we wanted to do our part to help spread the word“, but they add insult to injury by not removing the black until 9:30am Pacific tomorrow. This goes great for their company image, but why do the opposite of what you actually want represent?

The image above is Bing’s image for the day, but not what they will use for Earth Hour. The Earth Hour site will be shown at 8:30pm Eastern time.

Ah, Google employees. Always leaking out pictures, videos, and descriptions of the Nexus One. This time we have an exhaustive five minute walkthrough of the gorgeous device with a lame point and shoot camera’s video recorder of the custom Android 2.1 interface and the marketplace. There’s also pictures of the phone side by side with a HTC Hero and iPhone. Pictures and link after the jump.  Read the rest of this entry →

Google has release themes for Chrome and Chromium from select artists. I personally can not name any of them, but some of the themes actually do look good. You will only see the top portion of the theme (otherwise you would just be staring at a picture, not web pages), it’s a nice addition to Google Chrome’s current list of themes. There’s one for almost every style, and you’ll probably like what you see. You can get a link for the artist themes here.
