Think they’ll note Memorial Day next weekend?

Think they’ll note Memorial Day next weekend?

No. They have a history of ignoring any U.S.-specific holiday.

If you’re at work, turn down the sound first! And don’t mistake the insert coin button for search.

A link please? I have no idea what you are talking about.

Did anyone else make it to the seventh level? After I died, a message flashed on the screen which read “You are getting too good at this; therefore, we will be keeping an eye on your surfing habits from now on.”

I’ve been getting no work done all day thanks to this.

And I wonder how much of my personal info Google is stealing while I play.

This was entertaining until I discovered they logged all of Pac-man’s personal information, along with Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde.

I have a program that I use to filter google results in order to see where my websites rank in google’s results.

I went out for a while and came back and heard a siren going on my computer and could not for the life of me figure out what it was. Then I heard the Pac Man sound for getting ate by a ghost. I still didnt know what it was.

Figuring I had something malicious on my computer I started closing one program at a time to figure out which one it was. The sound stopped when I closed my SEO program and I figured it was a joke the program put into the software.

Now I know what it was. Google. Thank FR for solving the mystery

DON'T DO IT! If you use Firefox and its application Cooliris, Google's pacman stunt will corrupt the Cooliris app causing a constant PACMAN noise where ever you browse even after removing internet history and temp files and rebooting the computer. After losing half of my day the only solution was to remove Mozillas Cooliris app. Tried reinstalling Cooliris and the problem reoccurred even though I changed the home page. Google just lost me, my search page is now Bing. Those Dirty Bastards.

Thank you Google, for the headache.
My computer lab with 30 machines just went nuts. Of course, the high school students loved it. BTW it only seems to work w/ internet explorer.

Hey thanks. My pac man attention span lasts until I die twice. Then I’m off to something else.

I didnt play it at all and been getting the game sounds on my firefox. I had to disable cool previews to get rid of the sound.

Doh!

30 years, and I still can’t win.
