When you are a large multinational company like Google, the slightest changes in your identity will quickly be noticed. A few week ago, the big capital “G” that was used as a favicon on every google site turned into an ugly lower-case “g”. That tiny event gave birth to tons of reactions on blogs or on twitter (did anyone say buzz?), people obviously didn’t seem to like the new favicon.

A few days ago, Google’s reaction appeared on the Official Google Blog, Marissa Mayer explains that the current favicon is part of an ongoing design process that seems to have been painful (that’s how I translate rigorous and interesting).

Fake prehistoric rock art of a caveman with a shopping trolley has been hung on the walls of the British Museum. The rock was put there by art prankster Banksy, who has previously put works in galleries in London and New York.

A British Museum spokeswoman said they were “seeing the lighter side of it”. She said it went unnoticed for one or two days but Banksy said three days.

Banksy also hung a sign saying the cave art showed “early man venturing towards the out-of-town hunting grounds”.

It read: “This finely preserved example of primitive art dates from the Post-Catatonic era”

The artist responsible is known to have created a substantial body of work across South East of England under the moniker Banksymus Maximus but little else is known about him.

Art which makes you stop and think…. I love it!

The touch screen iPod is more of a “When” than an “If”. There’s no doubt that we’ll see it eventually, but it could be as soon as next month if the information from Digitimes is correct. It claims that the Taiwanese manufacturer Wintek is churning out touch screens ready for an August release. Given the usual scarcity of Apple products at launch (yes, except the iPhone), a late summer release would give them time to ramp up production (and frenzied demand) in time for the holiday season. Digitimes fails to quote sources, but with all the speculation spinning around, there’s got to be something from Apple next month, right?

Sony has announced the updated version of its Playstation Portable, but it’s more PSP Lite than PSP 2. According to Engadget, the refreshed model is 19% slimmer and 33% lighter. Both battery life and game load times have been improved, probably due to the adding of a buffer to cache data from the UMD disc. The biggest news, however, is video out. Now you can hook the handheld up to a TV.Available in black, silver and Star Wars (there’s a picture of Darth Vader on the back) they are on sale September.
