so, i noticed that, on my personalised home page, the "Google" logo has been changed to "iGoogle." is this new? am i missing something?

if i have to put up with one more iNoun, i will move to a shack in montana, furnished only with a typewriter.

may be they just want to make differece between default google & customized one.

Supposed to be some new feature to be able to write and add gadgets. Look at the bottom of the page. There should be a link that says "New! Make your own gadget - no programming required!"

You can't trademark a letter. They would not be able to trademark i-anything. Only specific names/words can be trademarked.

In this case, it would not be copyrighted. The protection of intellectual property referring to indentifiable names/phrases is known as a trademark.

hmm, maybe im thinking that they just trademarked iPod, so a lot of companies that had iPod in their name had to do some name changes...
