Google Unveils a New Holiday Doodle


A picture is worth a thousand words, they say, and Google has certainly taken it to heart. It never misses an opportunity to stick a new piece of graphic in place of the regular logo on its homepage to mark a celebration or noteworthy event. With the holidays basically here, Google is taking it one step further with a new 'doodle' every day presumably at least until Christmas.

Today we got the third doodle in the series and Google has continued the theme with yet another holiday-themed postcard interestingly displayed on top of the ones from the previous days. The postcard itself depicts a mountain scene and a cabin decked in Christmas lights, a look people will be more accustomed to compared to the first one which featured a desert scene.


The second postcard, displayed yesterday, features another familiar scene with three snow men. What's interesting is that, as always, Google tries to keep the actual word visible in some form. In the first post card, the 'L' was the palm tree and the river lines resembled the 'G'. In the second one the snow men's heads, wearing scarfs in the Google colors, make up the two 'Os'. Finally, in the third one, the 'Os' are replaced by the boat and the pier, also in the regulation red and yellow.

Teori tentang kerajaan Islam pertama di Nusantara sampai saat ini masih banyak diperdebatkan oleh para peneliti, baik cendekiawan Muslim maupun non Muslim. Umumnya perbedaan pendapat tentang teori ini didasarkan pada teori awal mula masuknya Islam ke Nusantara. Mengenai teori Islamisasi di Nusantara, para ahli sejarah terbagi menjadi 3 kelompok besar, yaitu pendukung (i) Teori Gujarat (ii) Teori Parsia dan (iii) Teori Mekah (Arab). Bukan maksud tulisan ini untuk membahas teori-teori tersebut secara mendetil, namun dari penelitian yang penulis lakukan, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Teori Mekkah (Arab) lebih mendekati kebenaran dengan fakta-fakta yang dikemukakan. Teori Mekkah (Arab) hakikatnya adalah koreksi terhadap teori Gujarat dan bantahan terhadap teori Persia. Di antara para ahli yang menganut teori ini adalah T.W. Arnold, Crawfurd, Keijzer, Niemann, De Holander, SMN. Al-Attas, A. Hasymi, dan Hamka. i Arnold menyatakan para pedagang Arab menyebarkan Islam ketika mereka mendo...

Say Cheese: 12 Photos That Should Never Have Been Posted Online

You know the old cliche, a picture is worth a thousand words? Turns out that pictures have been deeply undervalued: A single photo can cost you your reputation, your job, even your freedom--if you post it online. Teachers, principals, firefighters, mayors, university presidents, and everyday people have all discovered the dark side of putting the wrong photos and videos on social networking sites. Sometimes they paid the price in embarrassment. An unlucky handful lost their jobs or landed in jail. The results aren't pretty, but they are sometimes hilarious. Here's our dirty dozen--12 pictures their owners probably wish they could take back. 1. Hey Kevin, Tinker Bell Wants Her Outfit Back It's bad enough to dress up like you're about to slip a dollar under some toothless child's pillow.
