Dear Microsoft,
Can you have any less brand recognition? You're changing focus, names, and ideas way too frequently. How can anyone take you seriously? Sincerely, A former windows user Friday, May 15. 2009

Google News' Colors Changed
I don't know why Google changed the colors of the categories in Google news but it looks like they actually regressed.
Each major category in Google News had their color changed yesterday. Each category is a variant of their classic Google color scheme. The news categories now make the website look like it was produced for (or by i can't say) an 8 year old. If you don't read the actual news headlines you may thing it is a page for kids. If memory recalls, the categories in Google News used to have a solid background greyish color. The only colors in the category was a top border which used the Google colors. Perhaps it's just because it's new change, but the colors just seem too distracting, keeping the user's eyes from the actual news content. If a color wheel is fired up, the colors don't even match the same scheme. The UI team really goofed on that.

According to the editor in chief at Business Week, John A. Byrne, the story was the result of someone hacking their blog at businessweek.com. He tweeted his response to the story.
Here is the posting from the original "hacked" story: A shocking revelation in the science world has been made today as we are getting reports saying an Alien spacecraft has landed in the small city of Webster, South Dakota. The image that was included in the story was that of a large group of people in a parking lot looking area. Why would anyone take a picture of the crowd if there is supposedly some crazy UFO stuff happening? Nicely played, Mr. Hacker, but I'm leaning towards a hoax. |
