<p>Pretty cool. Do the lights represent notes? I need to take music theory again; this time because I want to.</p>
<p>Love it. I’ve never seen one of these special banners done so well. I especially love the use of lighted windows in time with the music, and the rain and red umbrella at the end. Someone at Google must really love Debussy.</p>
<p>Am I supposed to be hearing music??</p>
<p>Yes, you should be hearing music. Are your speakers on? There’s an speaker icon on the banner itself. Did you try pressing it?</p>
<p>I’m using my iPad…no speaker icon and no music. Speakers are on.</p>
<p>Hummmm…I’m logged onto my desk top right now. That might explain it.</p>
<p>Oh well! I’m seeing a nice night time banner, with the moon…lights in windows…and what looks like two balloons red and yellow in the bottom center. No speaker icon.</p>
<p>One of my favorite doodles, love that song…</p>
<p>“I’m using my iPad…no speaker icon and no music. Speakers are on.”</p>
<p>Damn Ipads…</p>
<p>I’m thinking some very musical computer science “geek” had her google fantasy today.</p>
<p>The red balloon had an arrow icon commonly used to mean “press here to start” located right in the middle of the banner on my PC monitor. All I can suggest is that you try tapping the red balloon and see if that works.</p>
<p>Went to the Washington Post link…and was able to see and hear it.</p>
<p>How odd that it didn’t work on the iPad straight from google!</p>
<p>Doesn’t work on my iPad either. You can’t “mouse over” on an iPad, just click, which moves you to the next page, or touch, which selects the image. Grrrrr. Any surface owners out there? Does it play for you?</p>
<p>Not working from my android tablet either.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Justifies still having a “real” computer.</p>
<p>Went to the Washington Post site, the video downloaded, played for all of 5 seconds and then safari crashed on my iPad. Something which happens more and more often.<br>
New iPad with more RAM, or different tablet? Guess that’s a new thread…</p>
<p>It wouldn’t play on my iPad or my iPhone. I found it on YouTube. Just search on their site using Debussy and Google. Very cool! Thanks, Shrinkrap. :)</p>
<p>Thank you for the YouTube reminder! Beautiful.</p>
<p>Got it via youTube. Wonderful.</p>
<p>Dragon…my iPad played almost to the end…the it shut out and went to the main screen.</p>
<p>I’m very surprised the google folks didn’t make this google doodle completely acccessible to the tablet market…really surprised. Surely they have the brainpower to do so. I was NOT using a google app (which I think does not exist). I was doing it through my browser. </p>
<p>Yoohoo…Google…many folks access Google on their tablets…come on…get this going!</p>
<p>I loved this! The red balloon at the beginning is related to a famous French children’s movie, The Red Balloon, about a balloon that floats over Paris with a little boy chasing it. The music is Claire de Lune (Moonlight) with the full moon above. The lights that form the boat toward the end indicate the scene is the Seine River in Paris.</p>

<p>The tablet market is full of “original” tablets that cannot handle the requirements of the new programs. Your iPad might be one of the early editions. Users of the first version of the iPad know that the Cupertino geniuses have stopped supporting the early versions, and the now older beast is puffing and huffing towards the next crash. In the case of the iPad 1, this happens every few minutes as the memory is entirely insufficient for the new applications. </p>
<p>Fwiw, Google must be enjoying the fact to cause iPad crashes. ;)</p>
