I am aware that today’s Google Doodle might seem a little confusing, but it has nothing to do with Apple, the company where Steve Jobs is in charge. Google may be developing a cool smartphone OS called Android, a cool phone called the Nexus One, while the browser Chrome has overtaken Apple’s browser Safari but there’s nothing like that.

In fact, Google is celebrating the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton with a special logo picturing a falling apple, and I’m sure you know the story behind it. Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4th, 1643 and he had enormous implications in physics, mathematics, astronomy, natural philosophy, alchemy, and theology.

I haven’t checked the Google records consisting of all the doodles ever designed, but I think this is the first animated Google Doodle ever and what better way to start rather then celebrating the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton? Google, keep delivering those cool logos and we are looking forward for more animated ones.

P.S. For some reason I kept typing “iSaac” instead of “Isaac.” Weird or not?
