POPSHave You Heard Of Rene Margritte? No? Too Bad!
I haven't (a cloistered life I've led). That is until this morning, when Google used one of his surrealist portraits as their logo to celebrate his birthday. This artist came upon Earth with little fanfare and left in the same manner. He did impact his being through his art and I am glad I stumbled or should I say Googled across the mark he left behind. Excerpted from his bio at: http://www.brain-juice.com/cgi-bin/show_bio.cgi?p_id=22 Magritte died - 8/15/67 - He lived humbly. He didn’t draw much attention to himself - Magritte managed to leave an artistic legacy of transforming the ordinary into the fantastic. Historians attribute Magritte's art to his desire to oppose and combat the triviality of everyday life, others say his work goes beyond escapism and serves to reveal a murkier and complex aspect of the human condition. - it is certain that Magritte's work is - hauntingly beautiful and deeply provocative.

POPSGoogle's Olympic Extravaganza Google’s main Olympics page has different designs depending on the country. The China homepage is more colorful than the US homepage. In the US, you can launch videos, gadgets, and see the current medals won overlaid on a Google Map (the latter is also featured on a standalone page). There are stories collected via Google News as well. The YouTube Olympics channel is only available in some countries, being geo-IP-banned elsewhere. “The IOC’s Channel will be accessible in territories where digital VOD rights have not been sold or have been acquired on a non-exclusive basis,” the press release explains. As previously mentioned, another onebox in results pop up when entering queries like taekwondo olympics, though it doesn’t work in every country (I added the “gl=us” parameter to the search URL here so you can see it). http://www.youtube.com/ytsummergames http://www.google.com/landing/summergames2008/index.html

POPSThis Day In History: An Open Letter To Google Dear Google comrades Sergei and Larry! The Party looks kindly at your attempts to correct and improve history by unobtrusively modifying the Google logo on notable calendar dates. For years you have zealously informed the masses about progressive and useful events like Earth Day or Earth Hour, while purposefully ignoring Memorial Day (no logo change on this reactionary American holiday). Most recently, you enlightened the unwashed about the Spanish artist Velázquez on June 6 without mentioning the Allied Invasion of Normandy on D-Day, a celebration of which would indeed be offensive to National Socialists. ~ The time is ripe for us to reinforce your amateurish efforts with our brand of historical revisionism that stands on a firm scientific foundation of the Party doctrine. The next big holiday is Independence Day. Review the following list of Party-recommended events and logos for mandatory inclusion.

POPS Cafe Press ShutUp.org T-Shirt Mocks Left-Wing Group Under Google’s trademark policy, owners can request that third parties’ not be allowed to use their trademarked term in the text of ads — a policy that far exceeds the requirements of trademark law. Lindenauer says that MoveOn.org withdrew from that policy on Friday after it heard about the brewing controversy over Google’s termination of Collins’ text ads using the group’s name.
