    google has a logo change today on the fourth of july
    [​IMG]

    why would they go to so much trouble to NOT have something american on the fourth of july and to specifically have something from our country of Canada...notice the flags at one end of the bridge?

    any guesses

    For Canada Day it was a special logo, but only for Canadian IPs.

    Is it possible that you aren't using an American IP address?

    Yeah, I think they have a bunch of them... It's been different every time I used it today.

    As far as the bridge goes, and the flags? Who knows.... "You can cross but you can't come back" (for the Americans) "you can't get there from here" (for the Canadians)

    lol...

    I wouldn't have seen any of these as I use DuckDuckGo. It doesn't track you like Google does.

    The American google has American page, the Canadian one has the 111th anniversary of the worlds longest covered bridge, which was inaugurated in Canada 111 years ago today.

    lol...i guess i should have known they can change logos for different countries....

    even if i type in .com i get switched to .ca with most big sites....sometimes they give a choice and you gotta pick a country

    Google's reasoning for anything it does... So they can sell your information to China.
