The Google Doodle has come to life, but not as the search engine giant might have wanted.

The graffiti is only a few weeks old, Roberts speculates, and appears next to other timely tech pieces such as a "Stop Sopa" written on a wall nearby and a painting of a Guy Fawkes mask, a symbol of hacking collective Anonymous.

The changes to Google's privacy policy, issued last week, merge all of the privacy policies of its products into a single policy, which allows the company to collect information on you from a given Google service and share with all the rest. (Read it here).

Lawmakers and techies alike were up in arms over the changes (what is it with tech companies and their gripes lately?) and some representatives in the House are calling for a briefing on the changes.
