Take a look at Bing's theme today 16 nov 2011

Bing is using a moving lizard on a tree branch as its theme today.

The colors are so real looking and so is the lizard.

I hope MS use more of these moving themes.

Check it out.

I think it varies between country's.

Change the locale on the upper right to UK.. I just found it lol XD

 

[JaidynM]

^That.

Australia works too.

 

[C32C3]

Sorry, I did not consider that it would vary according to country. I have Bing set to the UK.

For those of you who have seen it please share your thoughts. What do you think of it? It looks like quality work to me. I suspect that MS will get a lot of compliments on it and be encouraged thereby to do more "moving" objects.

Thanks for the correction. Later when I came home from work I saw that what looked liked a lizard at 06:00 this morning looked like a frog at 17:30 this evening.

I'm beginning to think you might work at a Tavern. I hear the ale is superb over there.

HTML5 Dreamsceney Bing is back! Finally, at long last!

PS It seems that all browsers but theirs truly IE 9 are firmly locked out of the feature. Not playing nice, Microsoft!

Same here.
Bing is a search engine, so the effect is not limited to a specific browser.
Bing is in the beta stage in some countries, so you may get a still image.
The experience may vary, based on your country.

Have seen 3 of those now over the last month.

Much like the HTML5 version of Bing, it came and went quite often, almost randomly. Like on some servers you might get it, then the next time you got another server without. ANd of course there isn;t one every day wither (yet?)

 

[Francis93]

Awesome! I just changed my preferred location. By the way it's a frog.

Love it! Thanks for reminding me about the gorgeous photography that Bing has every day on its home page. (Kinda reminds me of the good old days when Bill used to post so many fabulous photographs on the forum for us. )

I saw it earlier today, picked it up when going through my RSS Feeds, even had the flies flying around but the frog didn't try to catch one.

He paused as if to comtemplate it though

Umh.. maybe because I tried it with the x64 Nightly? But it didn't work in Chrome and Opera either.
