New Google doodle is a load of balls
The new Google doodle is a load of balls. Literally. But what’s it all about?
Google changing the logo on its homepage is hardly news; it’s not exactly a rare event. But the latest Google doodle is unique as there seems to be no reasoning behind it.
Google doodles pop up on the site on a regular basis, but they usually come with an explanation as to what they’re about. Rolling the mouse over the doodle brings up a simple explanation, while clicking on it redirects to a Google search explaining the source of the doodle more fully.
However, the Google homepage currently has a load of balls, or dots if you prefer, making up the word Google. Try and hover the mouse over them and they are repelled away in all directions. And even when they settle down there’s no obvious explanation or link to click.
This is strange, because Google has rarely posted a doodle without any explanation for its presence on the site. The theories have come thick and fast, and vary wildly.
Some think this is Google celebrating its 12th birthday, which by some counts falls on Sept. 7 (or Sept. 4 or Sept 27). But have balls got to do with birthday celebrations? Presents, yes. Candles, yes. Balls, not that I’m aware of.
Some think this is Google building up anticipation in advance of a major announcement. And Google is set to make an announcement tomorrow, thought to be something to do with the real-time results feature which has already been tested on some users.
Others believe this is simply Google’s way of lobbying for standardized changes to the Web. The doodle uses CSS3 and HTML5, with older browsers unable to display it. But surely Google would want to make it clear why it was doing this if that was the case.
The reasoning behind the Google balls doodle will likely become clear in the next few days. Meanwhile, we can all have fun speculating.

f you want the real story behind the bouncing balls it goes some thing like this in the year 1994 my grandfather was in the Military advisery program, because he owned Time Warner Common stock. Which at the time it was given to him as a 14 year old it was penny stock. So by that time it was worth over a 1 trillion dollars but officaly the stock never really existed. When I was 4 years old Me and my grandfather sat down to advise the founders of google which included a Woman who was and is to my knowledge in the house of repersentive. We advised Google to eat market share from apple and its rivals. So inturn we created touch screen technology in the years 1993-5 we also revelutionized the music industry with rave music and portable lasers coffee and restrant ideas including panera bread Duns brothers and carabo coffee and the DOT COM boom not to mention micosoftword which I was told I would never live long enough to use. Which we were force to give out or the united state goverment would have killed me, they killed my grandfather in 1995 and replaced him and stated that would do the same with me. So the national goverment legally lower my IQ score alone with my ACT score to prevent me from using any of my ideas to make a profit. They still threated to never give me a job any were in the country because of what we did. Where did this all happen Aberdeen South Dakota 1994 saved all there companys and started new ones. You want to know what these people are really like? ya, “google founders” including a “state rep” we need an idea so we can kill your grandson. Walter you can’t give the idea because your ideas are all good so why don’t we let your grandson kill him self and prove God’s not reall. Ok, why don’t you start a search engine that works like a circle and centralize it. What the swearing in world is wrong with your grandson, what ever woman little boy we are going to kill you because we already gave you a fake family. Well be back o, by the way if your companys don’t succeed I will get President Obama to run you over with a tank o wait were going to do it any way. So Gods not real watch GOD nothing happened see told you Gods not real. See you later we will do everything in our power to get your companys to fil swearing, no swearing way they will succeed.

We will do everything in our power to get your companys to calapse get it misspelling your “swearing ” we will spend hundreds of trillions of dolllars just to see you kill yourself. o ya your companys will fail and then we will start a think tank and hunt people with all the ideas like we hunt you we swearing raped you until you were 18 years old we already deposted all your ideas off of 4CAN so there are idea our are know.
