No doubt you noticed today's google doodle. I ignored it until my sister pointed out it was a working guitar.

At which point I strummed out twinkle twinkle:

Others have done much more expansive playing, for instance here's a Beatle's cover with a tutorial on how to play the guitar with your keyboard:

It doesn't seem to produce sound in Firefox, but it works as expected in Chrome.

That's odd. I tried it on three separate machines with Firefox 4.0.1 and didn't get sound out of any of them.

I guess we all should be ashamed. We apparently contributed to a worldwide loss in productivity.

Of course, the calculation of that cost falls apart when you realize it's assuming those people would have been working during those extra 17 seconds had the doodle not been there. In practice, it probably only succeeded in taking away from facebook time.
