1. Okay, well FUCK YOU then. I mean FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!!
I hadn't even BEEN on Google today until I saw this thread. Now I'm going to be messing with it all day and probably get my wife and three kids infected with the desire when they get home. FUCK YOU!!!!

:hi:

You do of course realize that the "fuck you" things were just for grins I hope. But seriously, that really wasn't a fair thing to do to someone.

21. I had to backhack from www.google.com/firefox to just www.google.com
/firefox seems to point to the plain vanilla interface.

19. Balls up: Google Doodle toys with usual logo today
If you, like so many others, checked Google's homepage today, you probably thought you were still hung over from the holiday weekend. You chased, you scrolled, but still you couldn't catch the logo because it had atomized like a "Star Trek" transporter beam.
But if you went to the box to type in your search term(s), the design finally calmed down to settle into place and form those familiar letters that have redefined our search engine experience.
With the success of previous interactive logos, like May's Pac-Man game, Google knows how to score a home run anytime it fiddles with its screamingly simplistic, brilliant home page.
Oh, and that Pac-Man game, it didn't come without a cost to productivity. CNET reported on a study that found 4.8 million man (and woman?) hours were wasted in chomping away, which amounted to $120 million lost. As RescueTime, the company that cranked out that study, put it, "you could hire all 19,835 google employees, from Larry and Sergey down to their janitors, and get 6 weeks of their time."

24. I didn't see it until
you posted this. I usually go through their search box on my browser. I got frustrated because it wouldn't give me the explanation for why like it usually does when I point at the logo, just kept scrambling around so I gave up. It was cool, but not cool enough to hold my attention, I guess.

25. About ten seconds.
It reminded me of this site I used to go to where you got to 'toss' around a computer-generated mannequin in a field of stationary bubbles. Much more fun :D
