Christmas Easter Egg on Google

If you go on Google and search for "Christmas", you'll notice a little banner of Christmas lights appear just below the top of the screen. So far we've determined you can search for other topics that contain "Christmas", but not all will work. For example, you'll see the banner if you search for "Christmas songs" or "12 days of Christmas" but you won't see the banner if you search for "Christmas google". If you know any other search terms that will work, please share with us in the comments below!

One More For Chrome! One Million For Charity!

You would of thought the Google Chrome community cared so much! Okay, sure the actual users didn't didn't donate money, but Google did!

So what exactly did the Google Chrome community do? They "donated" tabs to their choice of, trees, persons' water, shelter, vaccinations, or books! Sure tabs are just virtual and not any real currency (although that would be cool), they were used to allocate (or divide) money for the causes.

So what it boils down to is;
  • $245,278 toward planting trees in the Atlantic Forest, one of the world's endangered tropical forests,
  • $232,791 toward providing clean water, by building freshwater wells for communities in developing nations,
  • $112,078 toward building shelter, to be constructed by volunteers for impoverished families in Latin America,
  • $267,336 toward administering vaccinations against meningitis to combat outbreaks in Africa, and
  • $142,518 toward publishing books by local writers and illustrators, which will be created and donated to schools and libraries across Asia and Africa.
All from Google, and it's Chrome community! 1+ Google!
