Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread
I've seen others in Canada say the same thing. Oddly, my Mac running Safari 5 doesn't show it either, but the Linux machine right next to it running Firefox does.
This is what you're 'missing,' the image changes automatically every half hour or so -
i know it prob wont add more than a couple seconds but still it will be annoying. thats why I dont use bing.
Isn't it funny how impatient we've become? I know the other day our connection was slow and I was exaggerating "OMG its taking 5 minutes for this page to load!!" It was more like 45-60 seconds but to me it seemed like an eternity. At those times I must remind myself of the connection speeds I used to get in the early 80's and just remember how lucky I am!

God I hate my periods. You think passing a clot through a vagina is bad? Try it with a penis.

Its not even about the time that it adds, though being completely unnecessary makes it irritating as hell, but imagine you're paying by the kb transfered, say for instance on a cell phone data or tethering plan.
Also due to a significant number of complaints, Google ended the image background on their main page. Apperently, "'remove Google background' was the seventh most searched for phrase today."

I didn't say it was ok but it is asinine to whine about it in this day and age. It didn't get us anywhere back in the day and its not going to now. Besides, if you are tethering with a limited data plan then you're an idiot.

There is no such thing as an unlimited plan in the US. Both AT&T and Verizons 'Unlimited' plans are limited to 5GB. Well, AT&T's was, they no longer offer even that.
I would venture a guess that most people tethering are doing it for professional reasons, there are plenty of sites that are not 'web 2.0 zomg multimedia' abominations that are immensely useful.

I have unlimited with Sprint. I verified this before subscribing. If people are doing it for professional reasons then their company funds the bill or gives them an allowance.
FYI, for anyone needing to renew their Live account, you can get a year of Gold for $28 at Dell.
