or some random [Forbidden] site

 

:?

Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....

Jeez guys, everyone saying Google.com needs to get with the times!

 

 

 

www.google.com/ig is the home page you need. :D

 

 

 

It's a google's made to order personalized home page. It starts out as just the google search but then you can add like thousands of things to it.

 

 

 

The weather, gaming news, actual news, daily comics from the newspaper, etc. Oh what the heck, I'll load a screenshot of mine:

Okay, let me walk you through it. Let's start the top center box and work our way counter clockwise:

 

 

 

-My Gmail inbox. Shows the last 6 emails I got and I can click on it to go to my Inbox.

 

-Stock tickers of my choosing

 

-Quotes of the day. One of them is usually serious/inspiring and the other is amusing

 

-'wikiHow of the day' Occasionally I'll spot a cool one like "how to throw knives" or something like that.

 

-The two big circles are the 'Eyes' they watch follow my mouse, never looking away from it. Notice how at time of picture there looking at my black mouse near the bottom right. Pretty amusing really.

 

-Below that is my 'Picture of the day' but it's off screen at the moment

 

-Continuing to the right, we have my day by day countdown. Right now it's sarcastically counting down the days until summer vacation ^_^

 

-Above that is my pet/watchspider. His name is Boris and he helps protect my homepage. He sorta walks around in that box of his and looks up at me occasionally. He's pretty much the best pet ever ^_^

 

-Above him cNet news. Keeps me informed on all the nerdy computer/internet news.

 

-Finally, in the center in a "Top News" section which constantly scans ABC/BBC/NBC/CNN/FOX/CBS/AlJazeera for news updates.

 

 

 

At the top is the Google search engine and my current "theme". Right nows you see of the Fox wearing his cool Japanese hat and feeding ducks. That isn't a constant picture, every 15 minutes or so it changes. It's kind of hard to explain. At first you enter in your ZIP code and then the picture changes throughout the day to match the time in your area. If you just woke up the picture will show a sunrise, if it's 3am it will be dark outside, etc. It also changes with the seasons.

 

Most importantly though is that sweet looking fox. He also changes position every 15 minutes or so and he lives out his day. Go to your computer around lunch time and the fox is eating a sandwich. Go there at 10am and he is doing his laundry. Come at night and he is lying under the stars with some fireflies...

 

 

 

 

 

In all honesty, I can't see why anyone wouldn't use Google's homepage. I mean it has the weather, it has the news, it has the search engine... But in truth all that matters is it has a fox wearing a hat who also goes fishing at night and plays with ducks. I mean, honestly now, how can you beat that? :wink:

It's always been the Mozilla/Google home page. Before when I used IE years ago, it was the msn homepage.
