Google's "Balls" Homepage Logo: What Does It Mean?

It's a full logo, man.

Almost starting to look like a...triple logo!

Balls. How do they work?

dabbletech: Balls. How do they work?

Usually, they rest on your mom's chin.

It's pretty trippy.

Double rainbows, how do they work?

Some retard in TFD is complaining about how it made him chase the dots for 30 minutes.

Looks like google...went balls-out.

/YEEAAAAAAHH

Apparently Google's graphic designers spent Labor Day weekend on the job because the search giant rolled out a funky new homepage logo today that's (wait for it) pretty baller.




Wait for it?
Pretty baller?

FFFFFFUUUUUU Time!

I think they are celebrating the anniversary of the best website ever. Where anything is possible. ZOMBO.com

Best comment from article.

Michael Liston
Maybe it has something to do with Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the observer effect? The observer effect refers to changes that the act of observation will make on the phenomenon being observed. Which makes sense. I know I act differently if I know someone is watching me play with my balls.

Follow that to the linked PC World article and you find this great heading: "What's behind Google's balls?"

I'm guessing taint, but who knows?

It's so bright -- so vivid!

What's pretty slick is that they seem to be HTML5, not Flash.

Pleasant gaming seconds.

I don't not want anyone to waste their time, so if you get all of the balls off the screen at once, you get a special surprise.

Google's tripping balls.

McManus_brothers: Damnit, discussing TF goings-on with liters is against the rules. We're better than them, don't you get it?

/seriously, it is.

Well for some of us it's all there is since shameless attention-whoring just doesn't yield the sponsorships it used to...

Link please?


Open the TFD page.

Clearly you aren't female.

For the lulz:

1) Open Task Manager on crappy work computer
2) Go to "Performance" tab with the nice graph of CPU usage
3) Play with Google's balls
4) Watch usage spike to 100%.

Good times. Waiting until I get home so I can see what it does on a non-crap computer.

/oblig.

Theaetetus: What's pretty slick is that they seem to be HTML5, not Flash.

Thats what I am guessing. Google is showing off what can be served in a large scale using HTML5 rather than some proprietary plugin like flash, shockwave, silverlight, etc.

All Apple iDevice grievences aside, there is the undeniable fact that flash sucks.

Actual no-foolin' whoring might do it. Try that.

Core i7 went from 8% CPU usage to 12% CPU usage, if that's any help.

It's a tribute to twister.

FitzShivering: Core i7 went from 8% CPU usage to 12% CPU usage, if that's any help.

Yeah... In fairness, this thing has one core (but it's hyperthreaded! ...Too bad that means jack all nowadays) so I figure the effect will be a lot less pronounced, even on my 2-year old laptop.

dcigary: I see nothing. Still don't know what everyone is freaking out about. Using both FireFox, IE7 and nothing to see here, move along.

/thinks everyone ate the brown acid over Labor Day

Try using the latest version of a webkit browser (Chrome or Safari). Chrome is the fastest browser on PC and Safari is the fastest browser on Mac, so I don't know why you wouldn't have one of those installed.

I know why the did what they did and I'm not telling...

Uh, no. TFD going ons can entice people to donate $5 a month to Drew.

Also, don't try to explain rules to someone who has been here twice as long as you.

Looks the same as always for me...

Well that's the problem. You're not on Google's homepage. You're on their /ig page.

Yeah, was that supposed to be a pun of some sort? Because I don't get it.

You're a bit of a moran, aren't you?

You aren't on the Google page, you're on the iGoogle page. Click "classic home."

It went sentient.

Really? The graphic designers I know refer to programming as "that complicated jibberish with a bunch of semicolons" and would have said "Make the logo with a bunch of dots" while attaching an illustrator file of 5 differently colored circles.

OH BURN!!

I thought maybe it was an homage to the anniversary of The Lawnmower Man movie, when Job would turn the bad people into little swirls of ball-shaped pixels that would then spin out and disperse.

Pretty good and it reminds me of my favorite site, where you can do anything, where the impossible is possible. www.zombo.com
