Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Isaac Newton Lovers:

I was cracking up this morning when I logged on to Google and saw that apple drop. My eyes were not quite open yet and I thought it was a lady bug on my screen. I was afraid to touch it! Google likes to do these graphic designs to celebrate different things and I really enjoy their designs. This is my favorite one so far!

Here is the article that came up when I Googled “Google falling apple”.

No, Google’s Doodle isn’t celebrating Chrome’s passing of Apple’s Safari browser or knocking off any of Apple’s products. The falling Apple is to commemorate the Birthday of Isaac Newton, who was born on January 4th, 1643.

If he hadn’t died of cranial complications related to gravitational forces displayed on pomaceous fruits, he would have been 392 today (he died of natural causes at a ripe old age).

Issac Newton’s name was also the inspiration for Apple’s previous tablet adventure, the Newton, which also died an unceremonious death at the hands of Apple.

Perhaps you’ve heard: Apple is getting ready to wheel out another tablet soon. There’s little hope of them calling it the Newton however, the unpopular ‘iSlate’ seems to be slated for this tablet.

Google’s set to reveal their Nexus One phone at tomorrow’s special event, though most of the details have already been leaked. It likely won’t make a dent in the commotion caused by Apple’s January 26th event however, which hasn’t even been announced yet.

End of article……

Here is a picture of the Mayor taking some apples to the teacher after a Lily book reading. He is always the Teacher’s Pet!

More loving falling apples later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. I had a guinea pig named PIG NEWTON, that’s him on the right. The white one. Next to him is his girl friend ANGEL.
