Pacman Google

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Google plays Pacman.

Google has this knack of reminding us of interesting things about computers/internet/inventions etc by a temporary modification of its logo.

Today, on 5/21/2010, Google.com (or Google.co.in for that matter) has put the Pacman game around the header logo and for the first time the logo is interactive. The iconic game can be played right there on the logo. Instead of the “I am feeling Lucky” button, it has “Insert Coin“, which on clicking starts the game with the legendary sound effects too.

Join the 30th anniversary celebration of Adam Pacman Jones‘s legendary game with the Google Doodle. The playable logo will be on through Sunday morning PTC.

The Google search fun on April 1 – fools day hoax (not a hoax really) is on. Every time you search something, the time taken for the search is shown on different scales like:

1.13e-15 epochs

0.30e+43 Planck times

2.00 shakes of a lamb’s tail

67.36 jiffies

at 3.96 hertz

11.90 parsecs

Wow! This really is fun. Thank you Google.
