What is pissing you off this time? - Page 28

My neighbours, talking over the back fence....

Him: "Gee, your lawns look good, how do you get them so green?"

Me: "I water them"

Him: "What? really? oh no, we cant afford to water our lawns, we have to pay for water"

Really? seems you can afford to put your 3 kids in childcare everyday even though you and the missus dont work.

Why don't they just get a tank and collect water to use on the lawns? srsly. Why doesn't everyone? They're so cheap these days, and simple to install if you have half a brain. Even basic pumps are easy to install.

Bah! In my day, running around under the sprinkler WAS child care.

Googe has changed it's home web page.
So now instead of a single click to go to Maps or Images or ...,
it takes two. Oh, that is so much better.

Check in options to see if you can opt out. I'm not seeing it here, yet. Still have the menu bar on the top left. Can you post a screen capture?

If nothing else helps, just make a bookmark directly to the stuff you use most often.

Please don't take this too seriously...

It's more of a Steve Jobs poke at the drop down menu...
Just imagine how many millions of extra clicks per day
this Google programmer has dumped on the computer world.

classicman · 12-01-2011, 02:25 PM

FWIW, My google page is still normal also.

Lamplighter · 12-01-2011, 02:28 PM

Now I am pissed that Google is picking on me.

infinite monkey · 12-01-2011, 02:31 PM

Google is like the little boy in 3rd grade. Google has a HUGE crush on you but like the little boy, doesn't know quite how to express it. So Google dips your pigtails in the inkwell and pulls your skirt up on the playground and taunts you by stealing your Hostess Twinkie and running around the cafeteria with it.

Google wants to marry you and have like ten thousand of your babies.

Look at the bright side - you got a built-in swimming pool for less than $300.

How on earth did you get a Google page like that? Mine has the choices in a menu at the top of the screen. I didn't even know they were there until I read your post and checked out my own Google.
