100 Searches = 1 hour of a laptop

Really? That seems like a heck of a lot for just 100 searches. I guess this must be including all the googlebot etc. consumption as well.

Yup, that caught my attention too. And i think it puts things in perspective - Google search is a really really complex system. The fact that 1 year of Gmail usage roughly translates to about only 6% power usage as 100 searches is insane.
