    Google celebrates Labour Day with Google doodle

    To celebrate International Workers' Day, also known as May Day, Google has honoured workers across the world with a doodle in its homepage.

    May 1 is a national holiday in more than 80 countries and celebrated unofficially in many other countries.

    First May Day celebration in India was organised in Madras by the Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan on 1 May 1923. This was also the first time the red flag was used in India.

    May Day is a nationwide bank and public holiday in India. The holiday is tied to labour movements for communist and socialist political parties. In Maharashtra and Gujarat, it is officially called Maharashtra Day (Maharashtra Din) and Gujarat Day respectively, since on this day in 1960 each attained statehood, after the old Bombay State became divided on linguistic lines.

    In many countries, the working classes sought to make May Day an official holiday, and their efforts largely succeeded. The day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist and anarchist groups.

    Watch Here: Google posts a video doodle for Saul Bass' 93rd birthday!

    Saul Bass (May 8, 1920 -- April 25, 1996) was an American graphic designer and filmmaker, best known for his design of motion picture title sequences, film posters, and corporate logos.

    During his 40-year career Bass worked for some of Hollywood's most prominent filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Among his most famous title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the credits racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of a skyscraper in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that races together and apart in Psycho.

    Bass designed some of the most iconic corporate logos in North America, including the AT&T 'bell' logo in 1969, as well as AT&T's 'globe' logo in 1983 after the breakup of the Bell System. He also designed Continental Airlines' 1968 'jetstream' logo and United Airlines' 1974 'tulip' logo which became some of the most recognized airline industry logos of the era. Google honored Saul Bass by featuring him in a Google Doodle on May 8, 2013.

    Google doodle celebrates British archaeologist Mary Leakey's birthday

    FEB 6:
    Google on Wednesday celebrated the 100th birth anniversary of British archaeologist, Mary Leakey by putting up a doodle on its home page.

    The doodle features Mary Leakey at an archaeological site engrossed in excavation. Like in reality, the doodle has two Dalmatians running around her. Mary, a known animal-lover, was generally accompanied in the field by three to four Dalmatians.

    Interestingly, the doodle also features one of Leakey's major discoveries, 'the Laetoli footprints', and some tools used in archaeology.

    The first and last two letters of the word Google - G, O and L, E -are seen in the background while Mary Leakey and the Dalmatians replace the second O and second G of the word.

    In 1978, six years after her husband's death, Mary Leakey made her most important discovery - footprints frozen for 3.5 million years in volcanic mud. Her discovery revealed that early hominids walked upright much earlier than previously thought.

    Born on February 6 1913, Mary Leakey, despite the lack of formal archaeological training, is widely known for discovering the first fossilised Proconsul skull, an extinct ape now believed to be ancestral to humans, and the robust Zinjanthropus skull at Olduvai Gorge.

    Along with her husband Louis Leakey, Mary uncovered the tools and fossils of ancient hominids.

    She is also credited for developing a system for cl

    DB LIVE | 27 SEPTEMBER 2016 | Google Doodle celebrates the company's 18th birthday

    गूगल अब आधिकारिक तौर पर बालिग हो गया है। जी हां, दुनियाभर में लोगों का पसंदीदा सर्च इंजन गूगल आज अपना 18वां जन्मदिन मना रहा है, जिसके चलते गूगल ने एक खास अंदाज़ में डूडल भी जारी किया है।
    ...अपने 18वें जन्मदिन पर डूडल में Google का 'G' गुब्बारे को फुलाते हुए नज़र आ रहा है और उस फूले गुब्बारे से गूगल के बाकी कैरेक्टर्स बनते दिख रहे हैं। वैसे 1998 में गूगल ने अपना पहला डूडल जारी किया था। अपनी शुरुआत के 18 साल बाद आज गूगल दुनिया की सबसे ताकतवर कंपनियों में से एक है। गूगल की स्थापना लैरी पेज और सर्जी ब्रिन ने की थी। इस सर्च इंजन को बनाने का मकसद था कि दुनिया भर की हर एक छोटी-बड़ी जानकारी और सूचनाओं को एक साथ, एक जगह पेश करना और पूरी दुनिया में लोग इसे जान सकें। हालांकि 4 सितंबर 1998 को आधिकारिक तौर पर गूगल कंपनी की शुरुआत हुई थी। लेकिन गूगल ने अपना पहला जन्मरदिन 7 सितंबर को मनाया था। और यही कारण है कि जन्मदिन को लेकर काफी असमंजस रहा। लेकिन इसको लेकर गूगल ने आखिरकार साल 2005 में 27 सितंबर को अपने बर्थडे के रूप में चुना जिसके बाद से आज तक गूगल इसी तारीख को अपना जन्मो दिन मानता है।
