I thought the doodle was activated only if I clicked on it. The search would work like it always does otherwise.

I tend toward agreeing.
I don't want google to be part of my life, to be my (oh-so-fake-moronic-marketing-style) *friend*; I just want them to provide the goods and services they purport to provide.
They, on the other hand, seem to think that they should act as if they were part of my family, constantly sending me messages and talking to me in far-too familiar tones about what browser, etc, I should use, how nice they are about my privacy, and so on.
It's because they talk to me as if we were buddies that I use Yahoo search. They never pop up messages, or add them to the top of search results, and nor to they continually spam me with "Hey, Buddy!" e-mails; they just do their job.
So I never even see the doodles/Easter eggs that these oh-so-lovely "friends of mine" make, and e-mails from them are redirected to a look-in-here-when-you-feel-like-getting-p1ssed-off-with-marketing-morons directory (which I usually only check after logging in on new android devices).
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Odd - I play the google games and visit the various celebratory creations they make.
Never get anything from them. I don't have a gmail account, or for that matter, no social network connections (except CP - is/isn't that pathetic?). I don't even like sending email to gmail accounts as they can still profile me via the TOS agreed to by those with such accounts.
Maybe helpful? I use firefox with an ad-blocker, flash-cookie killer, and Ghostery's blocking of all those other little nasties. I'll often open/click/follow CP Offers - gotta do my bit.
Maybe you need to up-your-counter measures-game ?

And your friend will be VB6 calling for the Crystal Report? Spooky.

Oh? How about the Internet of Things?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

The scariest part about Crystal Reports is that it's not a ghost nor undead, it's very much alive!

Mickeysoft was sometimes scary in the past, but at some point in the last ten years they finally went over the edge for good.

Unfortunately true.

How about a Crystal Reports Clown with VB6 ballons? (Not sure what it would look like, and I likely DON'T want to know!)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Oh, I think it's plenty scary.
If you'd like to up the scares though, how about Lotus Notes?

Go as a team Bloatus and CR, now that is going to curl the toes of any self respecting developer over the age of 30.

I had to work with blotus goatse once. I ran away screaming and so fast I bet you Usian would have been second if it were a race. Then I ended up half the way across the world in a continent that calls itself an island.
Now here's box jelly fish, cone snails, blue ringed octopus, mammals that mainly move around by jumping!?!, spiders the size of a tennis ball, man eating crocodiles, sharks, 9000 types of venomous snakes and a craptillion poisonous insects and sh*t. But none of them as chilling as blotus goatse. Not one.
