    Eh, it'd be better if they were actually part of the image (like, maybe, above, a set of fish or some coral forming the triangle), instead of a discolored, tiny little water mark type thing.

    Isn't it obvious? Google has the Triforce, and is trying to rub it in our collective faces.

    It's not all that surprising, when you stop to think about it. After all, Google's primary business deals with Links.

    @(zombie) PeteyCoco: It was a symbol used by the Hojo clan in feudal Japan, yes. It represented three scales (like on a fish), but I don't think its meaning extended beyond basic heraldry and clan identification.

    The odds that someone at Google knows this and is making reference to it instead of the Triforce are... not good.

    The symbol far predates anything to do with Zelda.

    It is the system of science.

    Spirit/Mind, Logic, Nature

    And other cultures have other meanings tied to alchemy and the like.

    Just sayin.

    @EnigmaNemesis:That doesn't matter to most today. Ask anyone what the symbol means and they'll say it's the triforce.

    Also, the illustrator's intentions were to include it as a cameo.

    You know, this is much easier on the eyes than Google Maps. Also, I'm more comfortable with the perspective here. Google Maps always makes me feel like I'm about to tumble over.

    When I first started playing Sim City 2000 I had no idea there were any utilities in the game beyond electricity, as in the first game.



    I built many a huge metropolis sparsely populated by thirsty Sims before I noticed the cool new water pipe function.

    Google does these doodles (that's what google calls em) for pretty much every notable anniversary, holiday, birthday, etc.


    They had an article about the lead doodle artist a couple weeks ago on some site, it might have even been on Google. Anyway, they generally do a very good job with the doodles.

    No they don't! Google doesn't celebrate Memorial Day with a doodle unlike Yahoo! or any other search engine. Since Google started they never celebrated Memorial Day but they celebrated some obsecure holidays that nobody cares about. But this year for Memorial Day though, they posted a very tiny yellow ribbon. That is pathetic from a couple of ultra leftists douchebags who stifles free speech.

    By the way, Today is D-Dad! Thje Allied Forces storms onto Normandy to stop the greatest evil the world has ever seen. More significant than Videogames birthday...

D-Day is being discussed in any possible news and Tv network, your condescendent ass does not need to remind us, let google and everyone else do what they want.
