Google Logo: Dance For Me, Baby!
Here’s a funny little hack: Someone figured out that a little bit of JavaScript can make the Google logo fly around your web browser. Just visit Google.com and paste this code in your address bar:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval(’A()’,5); void(0);
Watch it in action:
Also worth mentioning: There’s a Google Doodle today for Valentine’s Day:
As more than one person has asked me today, where’s the “l” in Google? My guess: It’s the stem.
UPDATE: Looks like I was right. The stem of the strawberry is green for a reason.
UPDATE 2: Gawker adds the missing “l”, in the form of a chocolate-covered pickle. Hilarious.
Yeaahhh, just be warned… I don’t think pasting in random snippets of javascript is a good idea for the average user, especially on Google.com. I’d personally put in a little disclaimer that this is not a good idea in general. But that’s just me.
And about the pickle… It sounds like Google got pregnant after valentine’s day >_>

I can’t hemp but agree with Tim but that is very cool nonetheless. Also, i have been seeing a lot of post about the “googe,” people are so trivial…

[…] actually pretty sweet. Last year’s Doodle was a mess, with a lot of sites reporting that Google had forgotten the “l” in […]
