So what's the google page supposed to be about?

[Κracus]

I can usualy tell when I hover over the small pic but google is all nuts today. any ideas?

[Κracus]

Apparently it's only google.ca that's has the weird pic giong on.

[MKJ]

.nl has it too.
purely customisation it seems

[xer0s]

No, it's google.com

They want you to use one of they're shitty background images. So they've taken it upon themselves to put one on there for you. A test drive if you will...

[o'dium]

The whole reason Google is so popular is beause its fast, simple and, well, fast... So yeah, lets add a huge fucking picture to the main site, that will make things better...

[Ryoki]

It's fucking annoying :E

Also, what odium said. Incomprehensible move.

[Κracus]

Odd... it is ugly, and also I noticed that the word GOOGLE is written in white like it's the exact opposite of what it was (word is colorless and the typical white background is full of color.) I figured that has something to do with their shinanigans but I still don't know what it is...

[bitWISE]

give me an option for no image!

[Κracus]

hmm the image just changed, now it's a pic of a metallic statue/park.

[Plan B]

Image changes about every time I reload Google.
Some are quite nice, tbh.

Lighten up you negative nancies. Just a temporary gimmick 4 teh lulz.

[Κracus]

hrm mine doesn't change everytime...

[Psyche911]

It's been Bingified.

[Plan B]

hrm mine doesn't change everytime...

Nah, you're right. It's time based, I guess

[SoM]

you can change the img by clicking the link in the lower left corner

[Κracus]

I seen that, requires to be logged in too much trouble.

[Dr_Watson]

I want classic google back :E

[Dr_Watson]

[Κracus]

Actualy it appears they're back to normal now. wonder what it was all about...

[Κracus]

Apparently it was just to show off the background capability of google.... lame

[MKJ]

give me an option for no image!

[xer0s]

[EtUL]
