I don't care as long as I can find it using "Find".

... which won't work for any images, right, only plain text ...

I am convinced that simplicity is the main reason for the success of Google, along with good results, 50/50.

how would "find" help you in the above example?
why would you know to use the phrase "population clocks"?

Also the big bold "U.S" to the left of the RED millions makes it look like it says US$. Its not only formatted as a banner – it screams of cheap "win millions now!" ads.
