Good Job GOOGLE! Thanks for ruining my internet search experience by adding a stupid background image to the search page which can't even be turned off.

Features: Add a background image to your Google homepage
Make your Google homepage feel more like, well, home! Choose your own image or photo to appear as the background to your Google homepage. You can choose an image from your Picasa Web photos, your computer or a Google public gallery.
This feature is distinct from iGoogle, which allows you to further customize your Google homepage with personalized gadgets.
I think this is a pretty cool feature. And to "turn it off", just make a plain white image in paint and upload it.

Well, apparently one of the more popular search engine terms for GOOGLE this morning is "how to turn off google background". So they'll probably get the hint.

Is it really all that bad though? You won't be spending much time on the page anyways. It used to show up for me but now it's back to the normal white background.

It was like that when I woke up today. After I came home from work and turn on my computer, google is now White as it always was...It just has a "Chance background image" link at the bottom left. So it hasn't bugged me :)
