I agree as well. Why should it have to be a sine wave? Hertz didn't invent the sine wave! A square wave has 'frequency' just as much as a sine does, and presumably 'frequency' was the point of the googledoodle. Put the odd harmonics in and get a circular waveform, it's fine by me.
The amplitude and frequency modulation is a bit weird though! T. On 24 Feb 2012, at 07:56, Nigel Redmon wrote: > Eh, I still say they weren't going for a sine wave at all.
