On the third weekend of May, many computer users were hearing a pitchy monotone that once they left their screen on Google for too long. And the pitchy sound can be heard in offices where employees would spend more than enough time on the website. And a research by RescueTime, a monitoring software for businesses that tracks which applications and websites a company’s employees use.

The folks from RescueTime took a random sample of its users. Of the 11,000 people who were monitored by the application, 3 million seconds were spent on Google on May 21. That’s a whopping 4.82 million hours that could have been spent on work, was spent on Pac-Man’s chomping adventures.

Supposing that the average user monitored by RescueTime is paid $25 per hour, more than $120 million dollars was lost when it comes to productivity.

Google’s version of Pac Man had a bad effect on the economy. We’re not sure if the entertaining toys from Gadgetepoint will increase your productivity. But they’re fun, so use with caution, you might be spending more time than necessary.

Today, May 22, 2010 a humble video game was released. A yellow disc with a pie slice was introduced to the world by Namco Bandai, his name was Puck Man, but sooner or later his name will change to something friendlier to the ears. The game is now called Pac Man

A few years after its humble beginnings, who would have though that a game with such a simple concept would actually be touted as one of the most influential video games of all time?

Should we explain the objective of the game? Maybe, if you were born yesterday. Though many of the members of the younger generations are not quite too familiar with the game, we’re sure you’ve heard of it. But a few years back, arcade stores were being flooded by people addicted to the game. Hundred and thousands of school allowances were placed into the slot machines to enjoy a few minutes of this arcade classic.

And Google is paying homage to the greatness that is Pac Man as Google launches its very first interactive home page. Visit their home page to check out a fully featured game showing 255 levels of pure pellet-chomping action.

But after visiting Google and enjoying the game, make sure to visit Gadgetepoint for the coolest gadgets on the planet.
