Well this is rather strange. It would seem that Google has switched from its usual blue ‘G’ favicon to a purple ‘g’ favicon. In truth, I can’t see why this change would have been made, considering how recognizable Google’s current logo is. Perhaps this foreshadows a complete redesign of their logo, but I find that unlikely. It will most likely be back to normal by tomorrow (and this post will look rather strange). I’m most interested in seeing how many blog posts this will generate. Amazing how noticeable a slight change to a well-known site like Google can be.

“To Err is Human…” so goes the old truism, but luckily computers can often help in error correction. As anyone who has typed a long sequence of numbers (such as a credit card number) knows, it is extremely easy to make a mistake while typing. Common errors include typing the wrong number, switching two numbers, forgetting a number, and inserting an extra number.
