If you visit Google.com today, you may see a Google logo or 'doodle' with the picture of Gandhi. Today, is Gandhi's 140th birthday, he was born today in 1869.

Here is a copy of the logo:

With virtually any Google Doodle, there are some upset with Google picking one event over another. One Google Webmaster Help thread has a person noting that this is also International Day of Non-Violence. But it is this day, because it is Gandhi's birthday. So far, I have not seen complaints about the logo.
