yea i thought it was something wrong too. but just read it.

"We've turned the lights out. Now it's your turn - Earth Hour."

heres this from the link

"Google users in the United States will notice today that we "turned the lights out" on the Google.com homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour. As to why we don't do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display. However, you can do something to reduce the energy consumption of your home PC by joining the Climate Savers Computing Initiative.

On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv, will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to energy conservation.

Given our company's commitment to environmental awareness and energy efficiency, we strongly support the Earth Hour campaign, and have darkened our homepage today to help spread awareness of what we hope will be a highly successful global event."

You wrote it as a question, which also made me think you didn't get it. It wouldn't have surprised me either. However, I am REALLY glad you made a thread about it!

I made up for all of you. I turned on every light in my house, plus every electric appliance I could. I took advantage of the energy that you thought you were saving....

^^ it says nothing about saving energy, its about bring about awareness to the changes in the environment
