Terrorists. Though seriously... the logo changes on the Google page are generally designed for happy subjects like celebrations. I can't recall ever seeing one that was designed for an overtly somber subject (although I'll admit I haven't made a point of cheking it on Veterans Day), and why is it an issue now all of a sudden -- what about the last couple years? I'm not sure what they could have changed on their logo that wouldn't have pissed off a good number of people ()... what did you expect? an image of the WTC towers? One behind each of the o's in Google? An airplane crashing into the G with smoke? Gravestones with RIP on them like their Halloween logo? Even if they had found something that wouldn't come across as blatantly laughing at people's misfortune, I can't see changing the Google logo for it as doing anything but cheapening the memory. I mean... come on, it's Google -- their name alone is one of the worst jokes I've ever heard... "A moment of <google> silence for the <google> victims of September <google> 11th, brought to you by Google!"... I'll shut up now. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:173798 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
