is very fun! I just want to play with it. Kept trying to click it to see what it was commemorating but looks like it's just there for whimsy!

I'm not getting a Google Doodle at all today. Just the standard page.

Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :

It's HTML5/CSS3, so you need an "updated" browser.

I know it works in Firefox 3.6.8. It also technically works in IE8, but the dots don't resize like they do in Firefox.

Thanks for the link, scholarette. Guess I missed the Pac-Man day. But speaking of loss of productivity -- is it really pathetic that I downloaded Firefox because my dots weren't resizing like Nighthawk mentioned and I wanted to see that?

I have used Firefox in the past and liked it but for some reason never put it on this computer.

Pretty and fun. Can we keep it?

Posted by Sala (Member # 8980) on :

I liked that! Boing, boing. [Big Grin]

Are there extra points if you can herd all the dots off the screen at the same time?

Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :

It's gone. [Cry]

Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :

Today's is great, too!

The one thing about having internet in Israel instead of the US is that I don't get the fun google pages anymore! Even if I go to the page in English over Hebrew, it's still always normal! It's so sad. [Frown]

This must be especially entertaining with a touch screen.

I just noticed that the strings are bound to hotkeys as well.

Also, Raia, google has a page for logos. Perhaps those will work for you if the front page doesn't show up.

As found by "the internet", DH KJH PL J HKJ TUD is the Harry Potter theme song.

Has anyone else gotten it to play star wars all by itself?

Posted by Anthonie (Member # 884) on :

Today's is pretty cool. [Smile]

Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

Is there some sort of sequence to the buttons? Mind only shows the left most two, and I can't interact with anything else.

Posted by Anthonie (Member # 884) on :

Each button controls the fuzzy monster above it. Whichever is selected follows your mouse with their eyes and opens their mouth when you click. Oh, and the second from the left does something cool if you click enough.

Yeah it was a browser problem from work. Only two guys loaded.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

If you keep clicking on the long,skinny one, he'll get eaten by the last one.

Woohoo, today Google provides us with a Turing Machine! [Smile]
