If you want it white again then just add a white image :p
The problem with that is now that Google are messing with the background CSS of the site, during the fade-in the aliasing of the text goes very strange :(


Dear Google,

It ain't broke. Don't try to fix it. Yes Bing have something similar, but Bing is crap. Don't copy it.

Thanks,
The Internet.

Off topic, but why can't their services remain seperate?

When I want to remain signed into my gmail account my address appears at top of each google search page if that makes any sense. There's no option to change this as well.

Pretty sure this is temporary and just to advertise the new feature they put in a few days ago where you can add your own pic. Should be back to the white soon enough (I hope =/)

i don't see the problem, it's quite a nice picture :p

Well I'm not so fussed about that picture, more worried about the 3000 pictures that my network users will inevitably start sticking up. Just one more thing that I have to block which I could do without having to waste time blocking :)

Because they are profiling what you search in order to be able to better target ads at you.

This was true once but to be fair Bing has been pretty good for a long time now. Google and Bing give me better results on different searches, if you have an open mind it's worth adding to your tools. I really don't get the blind brand loyalty and hatred around here sometimes.... /shrug

Can't you just leave them to their funny little pictures? Nothing they couldn't do at home, or on their mobiles, or by using a proxy.

P.S upgrade to Opera, I've always wanted to use a system where the default browser is Opera, but no admin has the balls to :(

good luck blocking it up xD

Nope. I dont have the luxury of allowing 2500 teenagers putting pictures of porn/corpses/racism as backgrounds on their browsers. Kind of tends to lead to loss of job :D

I'll block it down now.

I actually like Opera 10.5 but it has just a few too many rendering and other "odd" problems for me to use it full time which is a shame.

SRWare Iron is my current default, although I still use FF, IE and Chrome from time to time - I'm yet to find a single browser that ticks all the boxes to the point that I can uninstall the others.

Now if someone would just produce one browser that too the best aspects of all the others I'd be happy.. Sorry for the quick derail ;)
