Happy one month anniversery
It's been a month since brooke posted a blog entry.
Granted, this is up there with Dave and myself at time. So, in and of itself, possibly not noteworthy. But...I've been out of the office for 4 days and I've read all the internets.
Good thing I'm going back to work tomorrow or I'd start a dissertation on why Jeremy's background shouldn't be black.
On further thought, Jeremy hosts this blog for free so I should take heed of that adage about not biting the hand that feeds you.

I'd like to see you manage to write a dissertation on that. :)

Is that a challenge?
In reality it's probably better. Lots of white space just needlessly burns electrons. Silly, wasteful google.

Somebody's already fixed that:

White pixels use less power than black. We tested this with a watt meter. Check out the video.

Sure. :) But yea, black uses more on standard LCD as they're usually set to twist the polarization (activated) to block light transmission. You're maybe thinking CRT, but who uses those anymore? Since it was brought up though, I'm curious how the dynamic backlight LCDs might change that figure though. Rather than activating all the pixels, they can cut the backlight. Besides one bright pixel in a zone ruining the ability to dim, I wonder how much extra power the additional logic and switching takes. For completely flat black though, I could see them taking less power.
