Google Logo Changes Again, Hinting RT Search?

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."

Google has lost it...

It would be nice if the freshly minted MBA marketing people in Google didn't get to use Google as their private play pen.

It would also be nice if the people within Google who realise that Google is used for serious work by people were still in charge...

Actually I think it's you who has lost it. Google Search is a commodity, not something you have an inherent right to. Furthermore, these stunts of Google's are the type of thing MBAs shy away from; only in an organization where developers have a lot of free reign is this ever common.

you could just use the search bar in firefox, or type your queries directly into the url bar in chrome.

really, who goes to the google front page anymore, other than to check on some interesting doodle?

Results, or suggestions? I don't see results when I do it.

To be fair, the pacman game would autostart after like 30 seconds and it would default to having sound on. So if you open up Google in another tab like I usually do you were forced to listen to the pacman game until you closed the tab or muted it. And yesterday's ball doodle was fairly jarring to look at because as soon as you opened the page the balls were flying all over the place. It would have been nicer if they started at their rest position spelling out Google and would only fly around when you use the mouse. But instead they started out in motion.

who cares

As an Opera user I haven't been on google front page for years - I just use g in url bar to search for whatever I'm searching for

Wut wut?

Noticeable LAG! On a free search engine? This is UNACCEPTABLE! Drag out the heretics, lash them to the canvas, and burn them eternally! Let not their javascript soil your pure nature. Cast out their algorithms from your cache, and listen not unto their rhetoric for their lips ever spew lies!
There shall be a Reckoning for this lag!

It's hard to ignore that? It's not like it significantly increases load times or changes, well, anything.

If you just want results, why didn't you just type your query into the search box that's on every modern browser? You get to ignore the entire homepage!

It's like you're just bitching because you can. Seriously... get over yourself.
