After the whole Microsoft-Yahoo debacle I realized(as most people) how powerful Google really is and their insistency that they are still the small guys. A couple of years ago, maybe. Today that is not the case.
The latest shitstorm to hit Mountain View is regarding the Google Toolbar, which replaces 404 pages less than 512k in size with their own.
I am not genuinely pissed (since I use Safari and there’s no Google Toolbar for it), but still it’s not cool to intrude like that, and makes me seriously doubt their famous “Don’t be evil” motto.
To Google: What would the internetz be without hamster powered server 404 pages. 404 pages are the only place where designers and web developers can burn some steam during the design of any web page they do. Let them continue to do this…since it’s always a nice surprise to see those creative burst like the ones in this gallery.
