#22The captions under the numbers on the graphic in the PDF are way too small. Even zoomed in 800% they're barely readable.

The use of a PDF for an infographic was a very poor choice. The design of it was very unusable for a browser, since its really wide and detailed.
This page is much more interesting and should of been the homepage: https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/sopa-pipa/

#24I thought it was a glitch until I went onto hacker news and saw this post.
I was expecting a blackout and still didnt notice it. I cant imagine many other non-technical users would.

If there is anyone here from or with contacts to google, my igoogle banner links to this instead of the proper url. Oops.
edit: nevermind, they seem to have noticed

Is that all they did? A skewed blacked out logo? I hardly saw it. I was hoping for something a little more dramatic rather than something I would pass off as a glitch on the internet.
I think it's classy.
Top story on google news is the blackout. Everybody's eye is now on the ball.

The home page is jarring. http://imgur.com/aLjTP
TBH I never visit the homepage anymore (I never see the cool logos people end up talking about; I start up with about:blank for performance). I just search straight from the address bar, and in that respect the small logo change in the search results doesn't seem very effective at making a statement. I assume enough other people still visit the homepage for it to matter, though?

#28I can't reach google.com in any way and that makes me feel like they don't want to let me know about anti-PIPA/SOPA protest. They are really making 2 internets.

I thought they would also change all colours in search page to black/gray, I believe it would make it more noticable

#30My fellow Canadians and I should also be seeing this. We inevitably get Canadian-ized versions of all these American bills shoved down our throats, after they pass in the US, especially with the current government in power.
