I like the look of the white page more, but the black page takes less power to display, so you use less electricity and yada yada so on and so forth...So in conclusion, the black background is better.
quoting a quote of a study: http://davidkpark.wordpress.com/category/blackle/
But is the claim even true? Like all things, not everything is so simple. You will save 5-20% if you are using a old-style CRT monitor,. According to recent data, less than 25% of the web use CRT monitors. If you are using an LCD screen, you might be actually using MORE energy. LCD monitors work by having a continuously on backlight, and energy used to block the light from coming through the LCD screen to our eyes. Some case reports of people testing their own monitors has shown that this energy increase may be measurable. By the way, if you are using a CRT monitor you are also using about 5 times more energy CONTINUOUSLY compared to an LCD monitor. If energy conservation is really your concern, it might be time to switch. LCD prices have come down a lot.
Please don't go white...it's just too plain and boring. Black somehow adds something. And the motivation banner things look better against black. I prefer black and the shit about the energy well fuck that
Would you like to see posters like on "Lolcats" added to Halotivations in addition to the Halotivational posters?
About Halotivations
So basically you take screen shots from halo, go to this website http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/motivator.php and make a funny motivational poster out of it, and then send them to halotivations@gmail.com, with whatever name you want to be credited as. If I can't find a name, I'll use your email name, but if you want to remain anonymous, you have to tell me. Try to make the picture name have your own name somewhere in the title, it's easier to give credit that way.
Also, please use correct grammar and punctuation. No posters that are too vulgar will be accepted.
If your poster isn't posted, chances are it's still on my computer. Just be patient, and keep sending posters. I promise you they will show up eventually. If they don't, you can always tell me!
Questions? Comments? Email me at halotivations@gmail.com.

its more easy to read things on the black screen.
i agree, it frames the motivational posters nicely as well.
actually i'm really digging the white layout...
the 'halotivations' header is awesome against the white.
