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."

    Googling "Google Search" does this. Is this new? I've never seen it...

  2. Google Don't Like Opera by Mike+Mentalist · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Is there a good reason why these new Google toys don't work in Opera by default? Neither the background image option or that swirling ball trick from the other day worked in Opera until you set it in the options for Opera to mask itself as IE or Firefox - and now the same thing is true for this latest gimmick.

  3. That's just great! by jenningsthecat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yet another bit of distracting, eye-candy crap that uses JavaScript to tart up my monitor like a whore on Saturday night. I get that Google is becoming EVIL despite their stated intentions to the contrary, but do they have to be ugly and bloated too?

    A quote from the TV series 'Life': "Its like Hello Kitty ate the Disney Channel and threw it up on that half of the room."

    This trend of 'cute for cuteness sake' seems to be taking over the whole computing industry. I really wish developers, and
    Google specifically, would spend more effort on functionality and usability and less effort on putting on their damned makeup.
