Google Risks Wrath of Apple with iGoogle Personalized Home Page
By Michael Santo

All right, I’ll take that back; I don’t really know if they are risking the wrath of Apple, but Google has renamed their Personalized Home Page to iGoogle. We’ll see where it goes from there.
The search giant is renaming and adding new features to Google Personalized Home Page, a product team said during a briefing with the media at company headquarters here on Monday.
In an effort to clarify Google’s strategy on customization, the company is changing the name of its Personalized Home Page product to iGoogle and announcing new features that were set to go live Tuesday after midnight PDT. Source: News.com
We Say: Like I said, although I do believe Apple has gone lawsuit-happy, suing companies for devices such as the ProfitPod, Google is probably safe here. Now, PodGoogle or GooglePod … that would be dangerous.

The first ‘i’ device I remember was the compaq ipaq. Not apple at all.

The ‘iGoogle’ name just appeared on my home page, and it is definitely lame.
It looks lame and is clearly done to take a swipe at Apple. Dare I say, a ‘bite’ out of Apple?
I can’t believe they will stick with that. I think ‘uGoogle’ sounds more fun.

Google needs to fix this. Now you can’t bookmark or set the tabs to go to your personalized iGoogle page (as a homepage) it will only take you to Google itself … then 2nd click — you go to your homepage.
How do I fix it … or does Google need a patch?

The above comments are a load of borax. As Apple nicked the Beatles business name in the first place how they can object to others beats me.

Google sold out. Done with it. Don’t forget how many other searches there are out there. MSN, Hotbot, Yahoo, etc….. F*#K iGoogle. Watch out for big brother. Remember - everything you do online is tracked. iGoogle is proof of it.
