The denizens of the Web are abuzz, speculating feverishly as to why Google has developed a new interactive logo on its search page that allows you to move a bunch of coloured balls around.
When you manoeuvre your mouse cursor around the logo, the balls move and spin around the page. Shake your mouse around and the logo goes a little crazy. When you don't move your mouse, the logo returns to normal.
Usually, Google changes its logo for a reason. For example, earlier this month, Google changed it to celebrate the discovery of the buckyball 25 years ago. One of the most celebrated Doodles saw Google change its logo into a playable game of Pac-Man, enabling a good few minutes of escapism from thoroughly tedious office tasks.
Softpedia has suggested that Google could be celebrating its birthday, although it was actually incorporated on 4 September. Softpedia also offers some theories about how Google's balls are generated. It's been reported that the logo could use HTML5, but, as some browsers can't run that, this is unlikely.
