When Google unleashed their custom version of Pac-Man on the world, in honor of the game’s 30th anniversary, they must not have realized the tremendous amount of time it would suck away from the lives of their disciples. And if they did know, then their “don’t be evil” motto must no longer be in use. Here are some of the ...

It’s crazy. Google owns enough major real estate to easily fill up a Rubik’s cube with major tech logos. I mean, Google is, like, a really big deal. And not only that, some of my favorite brands period are represented. You’ve got Google major, you’ve got Blogger, Gmail, Google Calendar. They’ve built themselves quite a little empire, if you haven’t ...

…because I sure as hell didn’t. Apparently Google has their own online marketplace, offering a crap load of Google-branded schwag (including slinkies!). Man, if I had known this my Christmas wishlist would have looked totally different. I totally need a Google outfit. Just a whole damn outfit decked out in Google logos. That’s what I need.

In celebration of Mohandes Gandhi’s 150th birthday, Google has created a new logo doodle which appears on their homepage, subbing Gandhi’s round, bald head as the letter G. We have no doubt that CEO Eric Schmidt is also honoring his memory by locking himself in a cell and eating only one grain of rice.

In honor of an event that will only happen once this century, Google has ceremoniously altered their logo in honor of 9/9/09 at 9:09 AM, the only time in 100 years where the time and the date will feature the exact same amount of 9s in the same placement. Google didn’t take the ornate path this time, opting for a ...

Feeling nostalgic today? Take a trip back to 2001, when the economy was…well, pretty shitty. Dot-coms were folding left and right, TRL was huge and Google was gaining dominance. In honor of Google’s 10th birthday, our pals Larry and Sergey have launched a search page that uses the oldest available index the company has, which is from 2001. The old ...
