Comment Opposite true with LED backlighting or OLED (Score 1) 424

I can see the opposite of this being true with LED backlighting (where a portion of the backlight is turned off to make blacker blacks) or OLED where the individual pixel is not being turned on. For standard LCD screens with a CFL backlight (where the backlight is always on), I don't see this being true at all. If anything, for standard LCDs, screens with motion banner ads would consume more display energy as the LCD pixels would need energy to be constantly flipping to update the animation on the screen (so running an ad blocker could make you greener!)

Comment You don't need to root it to use as a tablet (Score 2) 193

The Nook Color will always boot from the microSD card first, so you just need to insert a boot ROM image burned onto a card and it'll just work from that. There's nothing else that needs to be done. This is the easiest route and takes no longer than 10 minutes (most of that time probably waiting for the ISO download and imaging it to the SD card.)
