Default Google = Pac-man

So for Pac-mans 30th anniversary Google turned their logo into a pac-man game. Supposedly this has cost business an estimated $120 Million in lost productivity.

But for nostalgia they gave the mini game its own page www.google.com/pacman/

I enjoyed this game a lot and I've played it for more hours but I never mananged to do more than 4-5 levels. (how many levels are there in total?)
How could this game cause 120$ million loss? I guess not because of the server resources.

A waste of productivity well spent, highly enjoyed the Google Pacman game and the fact that you could move him with mouse clicks as well.

oh yeah, the other day google changed its logo with PAC-Man game. I palyed this game for several hours that day as i was playing this game after several years. Enjoyed it through and through. $120 million is a dime a dozen for affluent Google team.

I think it's awesome that google did that!

that does seem like a very high number to lose ... and something that was probably done in good nature with good intentions ... as a side note, I used to play PacMan all the time on Atari!! Great memories!
