Re: What have google done??

Bing do it.

http://www.bing.com/

They have some excellent pictures on there, its a shame that they aren't full screen.

In the bottom left of the picture they have a arrow that you can see the previous 7 days worth.

Re: What have google done?

using google .co.uk since the background pictures have been introduced has anyone else noticed that when you type in the search box it is so slow also when i click on the suggested search list that appears when you are typing it just goes to a home tab with no results .Is this a fault with my browser (i.e 8)or google

Re: What have google done?

One easy way to remove the Google pictures. Don't ever sign in to Google.
