Google Logo Changes Again, Hinting RT Search?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-prefer-fake-time dept.

siliconbits writes "The Google homepage is sporting a new logo that changes color as you type, and it is likely a big hint as to what the company will announce at its search event on Wednesday. When you arrive on the search giant homepage today, you will be greeted with a gray Google doodle."

    It's used by a lot of people for a lot of reasons. Maybe it's time for "Google Lite".

    Or even type (.) (.) and get it done.

    Is reading Google's intentions from the Google logo the new Phrenology or would it be more akin to practices of divination such as reading the future from tea-leaves or the entrails of recently slaughtered goats?

      I understand your skepticism. However, you must believe in the interconnectedness of things to understand why this works.

      Reality is one vast machine. All actions are interconnected like gears in an elaborate clock. Looking at ants moving grains of sand can help divine the motions of the stock market. A woman dresses up one day determines (or is a consequence of) her horse winning a race at Belmont. The random drip of water flowing through a cave imprints "Rita Hayworth is a goddess" on the cave wall.

      And a Google marketing rep, privy to the details of the announcement, wears a mongoose boa one day. The front-page coders, not privy to this information, think it looks clownlike. A man in a Chewbacca costume robs a liquor store. A blind ferret bites the toe of an American tourist in Sydney. Unable to finish the appropriate Javascript version of Fallout 4, the coders throw in some code from their existing type-ahead library.

      This is how we know.

    my parents use the search bar to search for google.com (with the .com, mind you), and then use the google home page to search. I wish I was kidding :(

    It just fills in up to 6 typed characters. you can type 6 periods (.) and still get it all filled it.

    What it is leading to after that is anyones guess.

    Google used to limit you to 10 keywords per search. Since they've taken over youtube though, they're short on bandwidth. So, they're trimming that to maximum search length to six characters, as of friday.
