New Google Favicon Deja Vu All Over Again?
theodp writes "Last June, Google rolled out a new favicon, the small branding icon that graces your URL bar when you visit Google. Which, as it turned out, bore a striking similarity to Garth Brooks' Circle-G logo. Well, Google went back to the drawing board and has come back with a new favicon, which it says was inspired by — not copied from, mind you — its users' submitted ideas. Some are also seeing inspiration elsewhere for the new favicon, which consists of white 'g' on a background of four color swatches. Take the AVG antivirus icon, for instance. Or everybody's favorite memory toy, Simon. Or — in perhaps the unkindest cut of all — the four-color Microsoft Windows logo, shown here with a superimposed white '7'. Anything else come to mind?" What comes to mind for me is just how obsessed many people are with the Google favicon.
looks like someone tossed 4 colors on a square LOL

SIDE NOTE: I once discovered the hard way that a telephone ring signal is 90vac.
It's 48 V peak, 96 V peak-to-peak. Telephone circuits derive their signaling from a -48 V DC power source, usually including a lead-acid backup battery. This is why telecom gear uses -48 V DC power supplies.
BTW, I discovered that the same way. ;p
it has been helpful to just edit the bookmark and remove the title altogether (leaving just the icon). You can fit a lot of favorites in the toolbar in this manner.
Wow, so the favicon isn't as trivial or useless as the folks here make it sound? Shock! Horror! Film at 11.
Real hackers just stick the UTP on their tongue and decipher the signals with their taste buds
So you're the final cylon?
