Google I’m feeling lucky countdown timer
Why is it that when you click the “I’m feeling lucky” button on google without typing in anything into the search bar, it displays a large countdown timer that peels off a number each second? It seems to be a count down to the New Year. But why choose this instead of just a random page or something else? I hit the button wondering if it would just take me to a random page on the web, just any old page would do, but it gave me this timer instead.
Why?!

What else could it be? Right now there are about 8.5 days left until January 1st 2010. That’s 204 hours, or 11240 hours, or 734400 seconds, which is just about what the Google countdown shows right now. Perhaps it’s also going to mark the release of a new feature or product? Chrome OS? Wave merged into gmail/gchat? I hope it’s something good.
