Blackle and Google

Ever heard of Blackle? It is actually just Google crossed over to the dark side, literally! How cool is that. And Blackle was actually born out of 1 single blog post, discussing about how white background loads on the computer actually consume more energy than dark background pages. I think you can read about it more at the about tab at the blackle page.

To show my support, and to adopt a bit of greeness in me, I attempted to change my blog background to a darker shade. Too bad it didn't suit my style. Apparently according to someone, he said that it was too moody for me. Ok... I was thinking along the lines that it was too classy for me. So, sorry to all the green people, no black background cause it cramps my style.

So now we know that Google is BAD.

More dirt on Google can be found at the help pages. Apparently, it is not possible to post a single blog post as private or password restricted on Blogger and that Xanga allows it. Blogger has not managed to do anything about this despite it having been on The Wishlist for the longest time.

What made me chuckle today was not that Blogger and Google is sub-standard and 2nd class. I have found a way around this by posting my private posts as drafts. Chuckle-worthy instead was the irated reply of a guy name rat on some obscure IT help forum. His reply to why blogger has yet to put in this feature is as follows;

Lord, God, there is no WHY with Blogger. They do what they do because they
CAN and nobody can stop them. Small changes take place all the time that
apparently satisfies the Blogger Execs. They do take suggestions at the
Wishlist, but they don't answer anyone or say "That was a good or bad idea!"
Again, why do they do that? Because they CAN!!!
