On D-Day Anniversary, Google Memorializes... Tetris?

Yes, it's far more important to Google to celebrate the anniversary of the invention of the video game Tetris than to memorialize D-Day. It just warms the heart, doesn't it?

Be sure to check out the image on the best search engine on the internet!

I use Dogpile.

[null and void]

That’s why I use LiveSearch/Bing whenever possible.

(And the little fact that they ‘disappeared’ half a million image search hits on “obama birth certificate” last July)

Bing vs Google or Bing vs Dogpile?

Someone we know interviewed at Google and after he disclosed he was Christian, the interview process ended abruptly. Google's annual Christmas "artwork"is all-telling about their company. They're Bilderberg associates now, so I reckon that's to be expected given the political environment that organization espouses.

Actually I just went ahead and switched to Bing as my home page. Dogpile had some movie announcement ....

I quit Google long time ago - removed it from my toolbar. Just switched over to “BING” - giving it a try.

Ya...Google can go to hell.

I hate that bing is MS but, it's looking to be a better search engine.

Just switched from Google this morning.

Who cares? Google provides free web search services. Their search page isn't an official location to commemorate important dates in US or world history. Why do people get so worked up over what Google chooses to put in their banners?

I like Dogpile!!!

bing didn’t have any D Day announcement either.

Dogpile supports doggies.

bing didn’t have any D Day announcement either

Yes they do. With pictorial links to different bits of info about D-Day.

LOL Dogpile basically routes search results from Google and Yahoo back to a pretty page with a cartoon-faced dog.

Every Christmas, Easter, D-day, you-name-it, there is one or more posts from
someone foaming at the mouth over Google's little cartoon graphic.

Google is a search engine, that is all I expect it to be.
I don't care what graphics they do or do not display.

Believe it or not, this is not a perfect world and there
will always be parts of it that do not suit you exactly.

Realize this and you will be much happier.
