On Google, in honor of John Lennon's 70th Birthday today...
When you click it on Google, it's animated. Mine isn't...not sure why. Anyway, it's pretty!

1. That's truly wonderful
and I'm delighted they picked that particular song.

RIP, John, thanks for your genius.

18. I'm guessing they get much more traffic on weekdays than on weekends. They wanted it to be seen. n/t

3. Do you have browser addons that disable JavaScript?
That might be the problem.

4. No idea...
I've picked up other animations, and they've translated over here, I think...

No clue what happened this time.

10. Are you using IE?
It's CSS3, and IE doesn't understand this yet.

16. Strange, Firefox should be able to handle it.
Unless only the Beta version 4, which I'm using is fit for it. :shrug:

9. I had noticed a special Google this morning, but it was before coffee.
Hadn't realized what it was or why til I caught this post.

Another lovely, in good company.

Thanks Miss Peg. :hug:

11. Sadly ironic, a giant corporation that John would have probably abhored,
Using his image to make a buck.

17. If Yoko approved it there was a good cause involved.
Most of us unwittingly use many things that are tied to injustices.
