How to save 'special' google home page images?

: Before I switched on the computer just now I had the thought that there might be a need for Flash to make the sound. It had to come from somewhere, and it sounds like a PCM sample, and clearly can't be in the PNG or the HTML without being so big it would be hard to hide them there in any format. I didn't know that JavaScript had so many detailed drawing commands (perhaps enough to rival Flash when used in combination with CSS), but I bet it still can't command an audio port on its own, OR with CSS, but Flash can, and it might explain the empty-looking page, if the Flash content is meant to be heard, not seen. Definitely IS the sound source, according to the stuff near the end of the HTML, but I saved it in the same dir as the PNG, and changed the two references in the HTML to match, using the same paths used for the PNG near the top (with escapes, as those used), but I still can't get sound out of the saved doodle. Another thing is that recoding function. Part of it may be done by Flash, but also involve the URL that is generated, and I played something I recorded last night by using the browser history. I keep the browser cache on a RAM drive, so there's no doubt that nothing persisted overnight to save that pattern except that URL in the history. I retried, after pulling the ethernet plug, and the cached copy of the guitar doodle appeared, after a delay, but no sound happened, and no movement or colouring of strings. It's clear that Google not only use server side scripting as part of this thing, but likely also record every note anyone ever played on it! This is easy, as all they have to do is store all those incoming URL's. |

: likely also record every note anyone ever played on it Recorded, not played. But knowing Google, who knows? I recently saw that EVERY letter I typed into the search box was sent to them even if 'Google Instant' was switched off with the off state saved. I get the feeling they feel a need to know if and when we pick our noses. Some of those resisting Google Street View will agree that they do, no doubt. |

In defense, I appreciate google making an effort to find WHAT I'm looking for, not what I ASKED to looked for. Even their ads along the side, are so well targeted that I've actually gone to them and found further information.. My gripe now is that the internet is so old that there are MANY defunct pages still coming up in search engine results. Irritatingly, many are exactly what I was looking for, but are now gone. You'd think the search engine could add a 'checker' to their results to cull out dead URLs. |

The best google logo was the Les Paul guitar. http://www.google.com/logos/2011/lespaul.html Not sure though if you can play the guitar with your mouseovers on old ('98 compat) version browsers. WOW! Thanks for that URL. I saw this one go by and could not save it. Since there is purposely NO sound card in this machine, I missed that the strumming created any sounds. Very imaginative. Years ago I simulated an electric guitar, guitar pickup, by calculating the magnetic fields around the pickup, then put a 'trajectory' of the string's motion as it vibrated inside the fields, and then predicted the voltage generated by that motion. It was amazing to me that even with all the deficiencies of the original system [as clearly illustrated by simulation] that those tones coming out of an electric guitar could possibly even resemble music, but they do, and a whole industry came into existence. Fun simulation to play with, especially could hear the effect of 'height' adjustment on the pickup heads. |
