4. More surprise… Bing, Yahoo and AltaVista ranked ahead of Google!!!

Animated google

For ages the search engine giant Google.com kept its home page design plain and simple, But before few days I could able to absorb an animated effect in the Google home page.

The animated effect looks cool, but thousands of users like me would have started cursing the ISP and the browser ,before realizing that the change came from Google and not because of some problem with ISP or the browser !!!
