Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. Much better than some of their art work.

Yep
Yep, I think it's only United States users. I'll post a screen shot for any of you who can't see it. It's just the homepage, not the search pages.

I am seeing it even right now.
If some people cannot see it then the screenshot is already posted.
Yet if curiosity is much much more then you can always try proxy

Quote: Google users in the United Kingdom will notice today that we "turned the lights out" on the Google.co.uk homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour.
Sigh.

Hmmm, I thought it was only suppose to be for 1 hour. I guess it is normal for google to go above and beyond by keeping the lights out all day long (at least on their website). I wonder if they did it at the office as well. I know some restaurants that are going to be turning off the lights. Customers will have their meals by candle light.

Lol no, it was world-wide, just some people missed it because it was for 1 day only.

Yeah, I also doubt it happened in all countries. I'm online at least 14 hours a day & Google's my homepage so it's unlikely that I would have missed it. But I'm glad others got to see it & told us about it. It's a good gesture by Google.
