That's the linguistics scholar who says he doesn't care who killed JFK. Even if you're not a JFK fan, that indifference to truth is a strange thing for a scholar of culture to perpetrate. Anyway, I will not be using google search engine anymore. They scrubbed the Larry Sinclair info leaving only endless Obama bloggers' lies. And I'm sick of freaking google dragons. This is America, not China. Not Korea. Chinese and Russian immigrants didn't invent the internet, the computer, the automobile, the telephone, the airplane, the electric light, the space program, the whole nine hundred yards of American technology. For the entire 20th century owed virtually nothing to Asia, yet now threre's all this junk they manufacture being forced down our throats, and those damned endless dragons in google. I'd consider coming back if they'd just get rid of those. I have recently become of aware of the crazy holidays that ” google” chooses to wind into its logo–Noam Chomsky’s birthday?

Even if it is only in the American edition of Google.

This is the first time I saw yahoo coming up with innovative idea of celebrations. Nice small way of participation in happy moments with the internet population!!!

I'm glad Google isn't using itself to propel itself into some America, ethnocentric ideal or anything.. I remember I was in England during the 4th of July–it was a non-occasion to say the least.

Is there any geo restriction added to it? http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2008/07/fourth-of-july-independence-day-logos.html @ Loren Baker, even I tried to collect the logos from different websites, but most of the logos didn’t show up in my country (India).

Knowledge can do nothing but makes us better. Well at least we all learn something when we see a Google logo we don’t understand and take the time to research what it means.

That's a bit strange. The Anti-American sentiment runs deep these days with the current war so perhaps they didn't want to amplify any ill will these days.

I think that it should keep country specific celebrations to just that countrys pages. However I can understand what you are saying with regards to it posting other celebrations world wide, but not 4th July logo. I don't know the motive behind that.

Yahoo, Ask and MSN are all happy to display July 4th logos etc to the rest of the world - so why aren't Google? The United States 4th July celebrations are a pretty well-known event globally; I seem to recall less well-known country specific holidays and events being highlighted. It almost seems like Google doesn't want to draw attention to its American roots in overseas markets.
