google doodle

The nerds at Google have outdone themselves today as the Google-Doodle celebrates the 46th Anniversary of Star Trek.

To commemorate what would have been Queen singer Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday this weekend, Google published a Mercury-ized doodle on their homepage, along with an accompanying animated video. The clip imagines the late star (who passed away in 1991 due to AIDS complications), cavorting through a heavenscape packed with 8-bit objects and some of his most iconic outfits.

I'll admit it. I spent more time than I probably should have on the Les Paul Google Doodle, but I defended it by saying I'm a dj and I play guitar. Office workers on the other hand, not so much. So, how much did it actually cost?

Today, Google is paying tribute to electric guitar pioneer Les Paul with a guitar-themed doodle that allows you to play and record your own songs.
