Two Thoughts On Google

So in the past I've known to liken Google to the Diablo. Okay, okay, call it the Diablo! [smile]

Not that I haven't somewhat changed my tune (and using Firefox am now using Google directly for a search engine), but two things are certainly cool about Google.
  1. The event styled logo - just plain cool. I'm sure I've missed the majority of them in the past, but I just hit the Halloween one.
  2. The second point suprises me - how bare bones their search page is. This is a good thing. This is a great thing. However, it still suprises me, for someone who has grown so big to have such a non bastardized page. Even if I still thought they were the Diablo, I'd have to give 'em that! [smile]
On a search related note, on the weekend when I downloaded Firefox, I did a search in Netscape. Hmm, yes, because apparently www.firefox.com is too hard to remember! [wink] *Shrug*. Search engines make you lazy! (Okay, the issue was actually going to www.firefox.org. But regardless, did I really need to do a search? [smile]).

Anywho, I threw "?firefox" in Netscape's location bar, which uses Netscape Search (Powered By Google). Top result? Download Netscape 7.2 Browser. Hmmm, there is something not quite right about that. [smile]

On a related Netscape note, I also went to their page to check that what i previously blogged regarding the lack of changelogs was still accurate. It amazed me that it was questionable about whether they still made a browser! [wink] Oh yeah, call of the dogs, there's a single link to the browser, buried in all that other junk. [wink]
