Today's picture is of the Google homepage. Early this morning (about 12:30ish in the AM) I was sleepless and online and discovered Google had discarded their classic white background and colorful logo for a setup more like ask.com.
After initial shock I found out it was to only be a 24 hour test of the new option. However, I did Google "remove google background" dejectedly hoping to find some way to get my normal Google back. Later today I discovered that Google was back to normal after apparently many many people getting really upset about its change, fearing it was permanent. So only 11 hours into the 24 hour test Google pulled out and cancelled the thing, letting us all get back to our nice plain white page.
I think it's clear Google: we love the way you look. You are easy on our eyes and we don't need fancy pictures like ask.com; all we ask for is your awesome search engine. And that is all we need. Simplicity is better.
