Although you maybe right, they have a new logo that's easier to carve into park benches, and tattoo by resisters.

WOW, xoB, that is such a major, life-altering change for Google.
I'm thinking they spent close to a $million on consultants coming up with that barrier-breaking logo.

There's no limit now for the Corporation, after showing such historical-restraint in the color skeme,
combined with such mind-blowing use of an entirely new font.

I'm impressed beyond words,
...especially when I appreciate the design genius of tilting the final "e" just that precise number of degrees.

Pretty sure they've given up caring what you think, or what I think. They're much, much more interested in what your grandchildren think. It's a design change intended to appeal to them, not us.

But they still do what I want them to do, better than anyone else.
If they make the best burgers, but they do bad pizza, I'll still go to them for burgers.

It's slightly better than the previous logo

Google's latest design shrank the logo from 2,145 bytes to only 305.

I don't think so...
No no no no...

you are Googling when you are searching for online content by keyword.
You are Alphabetting when you are sending a robot army to start a war.

Do we say Johnson & Johnson instead of Band-Aid?

Today Mr. Clod took my stepdaughter to her counseling appointment, and when he entered the address into his phone Google cheerfully announced (on screen, not actually out loud) that he had been to this same location one year ago, and would he like to store it in his list?

It was also quick to let him know that no one could see this data except him... and presumably any Google employee, and anyone who hacks his phone, and anyone who hacks the right Google server.

But he just sighed and moved on, because none of us are going to stop using smartphones or GPS or Google. We've given up, they can just have all our data.

You're not sure about Google; but, Google's sure about you.

That's pretty funny, sexobon.


Clod, just curious, why did Mr Clod enter into his phone the address of the office?

Because it's usually my job to take her, and he'd only been there once (a year ago.) Unless he's completely 100% familiar with where he's going, he lets Google Maps tell him how to get there.

Any dwellars familiar with using Chromcast on a Mac (desktop) ?

I've been trying to make it work, and did for the first time.
But now I have forgotten or lost something that is needed.

In any case, in my ramblings thru the Google atmosphere,
I got the following msg, which doesn't conflict with my expectations of Big G,
but nonetheless it does seem a bit explicit and frankly "scary" to me.

Can someone explain this popup msg - where it says "It can now:" ?
