Google has a new favicon since a few days ago. And by far, it’s not the prettiest logo you’ll find in the Internet. By incorporating so many colors into an icon, Google defeats its own objective of simplicity.

The new favicon only appears in Google’s sub pages like Google Maps, Google Images and so on but does not appear in their homepage or even in iGoogle appears in every Google products.

What do you think of the Google’s new favicon?

Bank robbers are genius nowadays. Following movies like The Thomas Crowne Affair, Pineapple Express, The Bank Job and even The Dark Knight, people get inspired.

Last week, a bank robber used Craiglist to set up a decoy to fool the cops.

The robber, wearing a yellow vest, safety goggles, a blue shirt, and a respirator mask went over to a guard who was overseeing the unloading of cash to the bank from the truck. Then he sprayed the guard with pepper spray, grabbed his bag of money, and disappeared.

Earlier, the robber has posted an ad in Craiglist for road maintenance workers, promising wages of $28.50 per hour. The recruits were told to wait near the Bank of America right around the time of the robbery — wearing yellow vests, safety goggles, a respirator mask, and preferably a blue shirt. At least a dozen of them showed up after seeing the ad.

Wicked or what?
