Google kills background images on home page
by Tom Krazit
Background images were the temporary default look for Google.com before being pulled earlier than expected.
Fourteen hours into a 24-hour experiment with background imagery, Google's home page is once again stark white.
Design guru Marissa Mayer confirmed that Google was ending the experiment early due to what she called a "bug," which erased a link underneath the search bar on google.com that explained why Google's famously spartan home page had taken on a colorful look. Apparently many searchers on Google.com Thursday morning missed the company's blog post Wednesday night, and were confused and annoyed at the change, turning "remove google background" into the seventh-most-popular search on Google Thursday.
Last week Google announced that it would begin providing its users with the option of setting their own background image behind the home page, but last night it forced an image to appear for all users signed into a Google account to highlight the feature. That didn't sit well with many grown used to Google's clean white design, especially when Google's explanation of why it was forcing this look vanished from the home page.
It also gave fans of Microsoft's Bing search engine a chance to crow, given that one of Bing's most noticeable features is a striking background image behind Bing.com that contains links to searches about the image.

Ever notice how Google has such a hard time acknowledging important American moments. Memorial Day, 4th of July, Veterans Day. their silence on truly American matters is really unforgivable.

I don't use Google so I never notice what they are doing or not doing. I don't support a lot of the things they do as a company and since there are plenty of search engines that do just as good a job at gettin me info I haven't been missing anything.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Google is retarded. Just once I'd like to put something in their search engine and have them come back with something remotely close to what I'm looking for.
