When I clicked on Google today, this is what I saw.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA Google is celebrating the 110th birthday of Rene Magritte by incorporating some of Magritte's masterpieces with the Google logo. Ever so often, Google adds a "doodle" or a decoration they make to their logo. Over the years doodles have become one of the most beloved parts of Google.
