Mr G.K grabbed the shot of Google going dark. You only saw it if you accessed Google in the Bay area. It is part of Google's contribution to the www.Lightsoutsf.org project where many public buildings (and the GG Bridge) went dark for a couple of hours to draw attention to global energy consumption. In fact, on many CRT screens, I think a dark background actually consumes more energy than a white one, but the point is taken.
