An arabic doodle on Google.com.lb

Georges

Google added today a Doodle to www.google.com.lb page.
This doodle contains arabic words with no specific meaning.

No specific meaning ?! this is Arabic poetry !

Joe

These verses are taken from a poem by Ahmad Shawki, an Egyptian poet.

Xsever

Only if Ahmad Shawki could write code. :D

Or imagine Said Akl was the most talented computer scientist in the world.

Just thinking about these ideas entertains the brain and the imagination :D

Bassem

What do you mean, no specific meaning? :P

Nice of them to try, but I think this is a poor excuse for a Google doodle. Just slapping two lines of text with no resemblance to the shape of the letters.

True, it's not really a "doodle" as we came to expect. But I guess it is technically a doodle, since you can reasonably make out the name "Google".

It's actually brilliant because all your brain needs is a familiar beginning and ending of a popular word to recognize it.
For example Mic===ft.

Chup

For example Mic===ft.

This reminds me of the famous research at Cambridge University about mixed up words...

Mixed Up Letters, But Still Readable!

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

What the hell where they thinking when they discovered that !?

So according to what you guys are saying they might as well write G and gle, and insert anything in between, like a photo of Paris Hilton and you will call that a doodle?

Aly

That reminded me of a stupid facebook group with a title something like "If this group reaches 10 000 Google will put/make a Ramadan Karim Doodle " they didnt say doodle they said it in another way but it is sad how Arabs are so shallow.
