For those of you who frequent Google.com for your search needs, you may have noticed that the logo was actually a barcode. With today's weathered economy you had to wonder if there was now a charge for simply wanting to search some stuff on Google. Thankfully, there was not a check-out beep after hitting enter.
What's going on with the Google barcode today is actually pretty neat. On October 7, 1952, Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver created what we know as the barcode.
Their design had cocentric circles instead of the little lines we see on every item we buy at the market and other stores. Pretty neat, right?
So there's the trivia on that and once again, Google has changed its logo for a pretty cool and random cause. The barcode you see on Google today actually spells out "Google" in machine scan speak.
