Tecchie news

Well most of the people on this forum seem to be pretty technologically aware, so why not make a specific discussion thread? Although if we end up talking about more complex stuff I might have to put up a disclaimer.

Google have changed their homepage to a Bing-style background, also changing the logo to a white silhouette.

Any thoughts? Personally, I liked the blank because now it's (minisculely) more confusing when all you want to do is type in a word or phrase. You can change it back if you have an account with google.

it's not just some day long thing is it like the anniversary of shiny things or something?

It makes my super old laggy computer lag more....But it sure is pretty.

Yeah, the new google search is cool.

This is pretty cool though:

YES! No 3D glasses in the future!

Yay!

And I also discovered it was possible to get a feed for this forum!

Well yeah, from the portal page.

I never visit the portal page. Thus the non-discovery.

Ah, so you just bookmarked the index. Yeah, same here.

Actually, I bookmark the 'search for posts since last visit' page. It's the ultimate lazy way of keeping abreast of things.

I don't think any other country in the world could have as archaic a system as Britain does in some aspects. "Worshipful Company"?
