If you were to head off to www.google.co.uk or any other Google search page, you will in no doubt get attacked by bouncy balls. These balls are a JavaScript animation that form the Google logo, but they react and move around when you move your mouse. I personally love this brief glimpse of fun displayed this enormousness organisation.I especially enjoyed the Pacman Google logo that let you play the classic game in a special Google level.
Many people have complained about how much CPU the Google homepage is using today. We are lucky the machines in the office are sufficiently powerful to handle the interactive fun. The normal simplicity of the site is usually well renowned for quick and fast results, but there are workarounds to get through this lack of speed. One of them being to use the built in Google search function on most browsers. I personally look forward to seeing what Google come up with next.
Has the Google animation been eating up too much of your CPU or do you enjoy it just as much as I do?
