Another holiday slighted by Google but honored by Bing
Bing and Google ^ | 5/31/2010 | Bing-Google

Posted on 05/31/2010 5:40:33 AM PDT by for-q-clinton

Last holiday was Easter where Google ignored the holiest holiday of Christians while it instead honored some obscure European author. This Memorial day google ignores Memorial day by not decorating their google logo with Memorial day pictures. Bing on the other hand honored both Easter and Memorial day.

Don't believe me check it out.

Sorry you’ll need to type them in.

I just went to google’s home page.

Under the google search bar there is a flag, a yellow ribbon and the phrase “In honor of the soldiers who have given their lives for our country.”

`I like the Walrus best,' said Alice: `because he was a little sorry for the poor oysters.'

`He ate more than the Carpenter, though,' said Tweedledee. `You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise.'

`That was mean!' Alice said indignantly. `Then I like the Carpenter best--if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus.'

`But he ate as many as he could get,' said Tweedledum.

Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born on the same day in 1809. It was no surprise that Google chose to honor Darwin over Lincoln.

Maybe Google started getting complaints. It certainly isn’t as nice as their usual banners. It looks like an afterthought.

From Google:

In honor of the soldiers who have given their lives for our country.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bing plays on folk's emotion to cover up what a sucky search engine it is.

It's a shame google continue to hate on American traditions.

It's more a shame that misinformed folks continue to hate on Google.

I missed that. The photography on Bing is really beautiful. I first started using it when I saw the contrast between the pages on Pearl Harbor day— same thing, google ignored it but bing had a photo of Pearl Harbor. I do notice that Google’s homepage always seems to be honoring earth day, or Chinese new year, etc., but not Memorial Day, Pearl Harbor, etc.

I don’t care. There are more pressing issues in my life and in the life of this nation than how one company chooses to present itself.

I’ll fly my flag. My neighbor may not. My family has fought and bled to give us that choice.

It’s a free company and a free economy. If I don’t like a company’s practices, I don’t do business with them. Simple enough.

If you don’t like Google’s ways, use Bing.

Wait I just checked again and it’s not there.

They may be having server issues where their update isn’t applying to all their front ends.

In all fairness there’s that itty-bitty ‘in honor of the soldiers’ line below the search box. </sarcasm>

Google did the same on Dec 15th, for the Bill of Rights 218th anniversary. They chose instead to celebrate Zamenhoff, admitted socialist and the creator of Esperanto. Hmmm, translating "esperanto" = the one who hopes. Hope??? Sounds so familiar it's creepy. Furthermore, Soros' dad was an Esperanto die harder, founded it's literary magazine. Soros' name was also changed to that, which in esperanto means "the ones who soars". And while Jews were taking Hebrew in temples, Soros' dad was teaching Georgie here esperanto at home.

Any conservative should stop using Google and it's affiliated programs (that includes YT and gmail) and hit them where it hurts most: their pockets.

Below is the image of Google's celebration of esperanto and it's socialist creator.

It's more a shame that misinformed folks continue to hate on Google.

The google page I'm hitting still shows the standard google sign. Yes I've refreshed and cleared my cache as well. So it appears they are having front end issues getting their udpate to all their front ends.

So I gues we can agree it's a shame google is having server issues getting their memorial day logo updated.

“I don’t care.”

The poster is just bringing something up that bothers him. If you don’t care about the topic, don’t read the thread.
