Google censored its homepage logo in the US to protest against two bills that could damage the Internet and destroy its core values. “Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA,” explains Google.
Google’s homepage also includes a link that asks users to “tell Congress: please don’t censor the Internet.” The censored logo is only available in the US, but the link is also displayed outside US.
Wikipedia and WordPress decided to make it more difficult to access their content. “For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia.”
teehan+lax – an interactive user interface design agency – has put together a solid Photoshop file (PSD) containing all of the main iPhone UI widgets. It’s a whopping 6 megabytes and includes everything from scrolling lists to the keyboard, labels, browser bars, play controls, phone keypad, and more.
This file is awesome if you want to put together some mock designs for your app. Even if you’re not an iPhone app developer yourself, you could use this to spec out your app before passing it to a developer.. giving you more control over the result.
320480.com has an alternative iPhone interface PSD file for download, if you want some variety.

Google started to show a special OneBox for the FIFA World Cup, the international football tournament that will start Friday in South Africa. If you search for “world cup“, you can see a list of the teams and the upcoming matches.
At the bottom of the page, Google replaced “Goooooooooogle” with “Gooooooooooal!”, at least for the first page of search results.

In L’Artisan Electronique, pottery, one of the oldest artisanal techniques for making utilitarian objects, is combined with new digital techniques. The virtual pottery wheel was realsied by means of a 3D-scanner and digital design software. However, the installation still clearly refers to the artisanal process of working in clay. The printing process imitates the traditional technique used by ceramicists, in which the form is built up by stacking coils of clay.

World map color-coded by level of touristiness, based on analysis of photos on Panoramio.
- Yellow indicates high touristiness
- Red medium touristiness
- Blue low touristiness
Areas having no Panoramio photos at all are grey. The analysis takes into account how many photos and by how many authors there are in a given area.
For the Web version, you can view the touristiness map in Google Maps, but if you have Google Earth, it is more useful to view it there; to do this, download the KML file and add it to Google Earth “My Places” folder.
