Google money saving tips

Go to http://www.google.com that is the google homepage without any widgets (igoogle) or anything like that. Do a right-click and "View Source" and see the html. What do you see?

No closing </body> or </html> tags. Reason? Bandwidth. Google home page takes about a few billion requests per day and so removing about 12 characters from 1000 characters is still 1% bandwidth conserved. Google wants to conserve network bandwidth at each and every micro-penny level and this is one startling example. Most browsers know how to handle unclosed body or html tags so they just don't send those tags ! If you are a beginner in html you don't want to take that as an example !

Just for the sake of curiosity I checked the source of amazon/ebay and they have all the closing tags !!!
