GOOGLE BLACK VERSION “BLACKLE”

Google is a search engine which was uses frequently. It uses white screen and consumes high energy.

A search engine is a searchable online database of internet resources. It has several components: search engine software, spider software, an index (database), and a relevancy algorithm (rules for ranking)

From above consumes high energy reason Google created a black version of its search engine called “BLACKLE”. It functions the same way as White version. It consumes lower energy. According to the calculations it would save 750 Mega watt-hours a year.
“BLACKLE” was created by Heap Media. BLACKLE searches are powered by Google custom search. It was born to saves energy because screen is black .

Monitor requires more power to display white screen than a black screen. Image display is done initially by function of the users color settings and desktop graphics, etc..

The BlogSpot was found that the black Google would save 750 Mega watt-hours a year.
Even though the energy savings are small when they are add up it will be considerable amount

If apply the BLACKLE as the homepage when ever you load internet browser you will save a little bit of energy but every bit counts.

Each time you see the BLACKLE page load it will remind about the need of save energy.
Blackle Home Page: - WWW.blackle.com

Computer History

Who is the inventor of the computer?
The computer was invented in 1945 by Charles Babbage. The real answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention.
At 27 tons and the size of an entire room, the world's first computer was the ENIAC or Electronic Numerator Integrator Analyzer and Computer. True to form, ENIAC also makes big noises, cracking and buzzing while performing an equation of 5,000 additions. Before the invention of ENIAC, it took a room full of people to calculate a similar equation. Basic answer 1945!
Charles Babbage invented the analytical engine, a computing device.
Charles Babbage 1791-1871

Charles Babbage developed the analytical engine project after an earlier computing project the difference engine that Babbage started in 1822. The difference engine could solve polynomial equations using a numerical method called the "method of differences". However, the analytical engine was the first general computational device, with the ability to solve different types of equations.

Definitions

What is a Virus?
A virus is a manmade program or piece of code that causes an unexpected, usually negative, event. Viruses are often disguised games or images with clever marketing titles such as "Me, nude."
Or
A computer virus is a piece of code that is secretly introduced into a system in order to corrupt it or destroy data. Often viruses are hidden in other programs or documents and when opened, the virus is let loose.

What is a Worm?

Computer Worms are viruses that reside in the active memory of a computer and duplicate themselves. They may send copies of themselves to other computers, such as through email or Internet Relay Chat (IRC).
Or
A computer worm is a program which copies itself across a network.A computer worm differs from a computer virus in that a computer worm can run itself. A virus needs a host program to run, and the virus code runs as part of the host program. A computer worm can spread without a host program, although some modern computer worms also use files to hide inside.

What is a Trojan Horse?

A Trojan horse program is a malicious program that pretends to be a benign application; a Trojan horse program purposefully does something the user does not expect. Trojans are not viruses since they do not replicate, but Trojan horse programs can be just as destructive.
Many people use the term to refer only to non-replicating malicious programs, thus making a distinction between Trojans and viruses.
Or
This is a program that disguises itself as another program. Similar to a virus, these programs are hidden and cause an unwanted effect. They differ from viruses because they are normally not designed to replicate like a virus.
