If You Use IE and Haven't Visited Google Today... - Bob Schroeck - 06-10-2010
... (Wed 10 June), do it now. I needed IE for a jobsite that didn't play well with SeaMonkey, opened up to my default home page (Google), and went "whoa".
Pity it doesn't work for Mozilla browsers, apparently.

Pretty - but distracting.
And might be a problem at work - Google is our default home page and we do have a capped daily download limit.

Just what was it? something similar to when they did google pac man?

Looks like they're trying to be Bing. Which is fine by me, as long as they don't go the full boat. I find Bing far too intrusive.

For those who're going "meh", it just surprised the hell out of me when I opened it in IE, and then I went "wow, pretty".
Bing does something like this? Huh. Never been to Bing.

I get a pretty picture in Firefox, and a plain white Google page in IE.
?
ETA: Now the Firefox page is blank as well.

I have the standard white background now, but down in the lower left corner is a link to change it.

No link in the lower left for me. Damn, SeaMonkey must be missing something Firefox has; well, actually I knew that from the plug-ins that don't work with it. I shouldn't be surprised.
