You know those engineer elves at Google like to do things their own way. That build-it-better ethic also applies to Christmas toys. If you click on the Christmas Doodle on Google’s main search page, you will see the five images below, which shows what I can only assume is one of Google’s older engineers in his workshop with his son. He is putting together a contraption with wooden gears and tubes that create toys (and explosions too!). Those must be Internet tubes.
(Yahoo and Live Search are also celebrating today).










See all



fascinating!
I thought it was a homage to Pinocchio myself.
Crunchies = FAIL !
It’s shocking that you guys have gone completely silent about the fact that the crunchies announcement is almost two weeks late! You should at least post why tallying votes is taking so long instead of talking about how they make toys at google.
Marry Christmas Erick and all TC team!
Maybe the message is that at Google they don’t just make toys, they make infrastructure (the toy making gadget).

I thought they looked a bit like elves to me.
Crackas never cease to amuse me. Especially on this most cracka of cracka holidays.
LOL!
What website did you fall off of to end up here? Bossip.com?
Funny, that is exactly how we feel about you, the cracka-wanabes.
wake-up cracka. last I looked the cracka-world is in steep decline.
Live Search from Microsoft will beat Google so badly in the near future.
False. Unless you only use the internet for shopping. Even then, probably false.
I laughed so hard, thank you.
in ur dreams mate, live search’s market share is going down
Your replies show that you guys are not aware of Microsoft and its abilities.
How much is M$ paying you, Nasser duos?
Clayton is very right.

It is ugly.

Might is much better. Anyway, thanks.
And this is news how?
P.S. When will you give up your Google fetish?
I felt these were the worst Google Doodles they’ve ever put out. When I first saw them, I couldn’t even decipher what they were. I wish they’d go back to their regular Doodles. These suck.
Horrible thing. Horrible design.
the first logo was good the others just didnt have the same feel to it
LOL
Not bad but I think they lost the touch.
Terrible doodles. Looks like the art that brought MAD magazine to its knees. The overly-shaded and cluttered images do nothing for anyone. Kind of like that Christmas poem published earlier today.
Google designers do these awesome logos for festivals and other occasions
Totally.

“Those must be Internet tubes.”
I couldn’t help smiling when I read that.
Live search to beat Google? Wat planet are you on? Or shall I ask what your are you on? 1992? Google have more market share in the natural search than all other search engines put together. Thats right. More market share than all other search engines put together. Live search is useless. Even if all of us TechCrunch readers formed together and put up a new search engine we’d probably return better search results than Live Search.
