Google [3] may today be sharing its most sophisticated Google Doodle [4] yet. In honor of analogue synthesizer inventor Bob Moog (pronounced to rhyme with "vogue," by the way, not like the "oog" of Google) the Google logo is a fully-functional synthesizer. You can tweak many of the electronic parameters in the same way you would on a real Moog, and you can even record your tootlings with a simulated period-relevant four track recorder--it even lets you share your tunes via short links or Google+. Google's blog post [5] notes the synthesizer was built using separate inter-connected components, much like the real thing. Google's using the doodle to promote Google Chrome, recently overtaking [6] Internet Explorer to become the most-used browser, because if you access it using a modern browser like Apple's Safari it cheekily suggests you "Upgrade to a modern browser and see what this doodle can really do".
