iGoogle VS Google???

So today I noticed something very interesting, and here’s the screencap of it.
That’s right, the Google.com site had “iGoogle” instead of “Google” on it. Also, I realized the URL always forwards from google.com or google.ca to google.com/ig and google.ca/ig!!!
Is this one of their their playful gestures to fool around with the header image like they do with holidays and special events etc.?
Or is this some kind of a hint towards a more “friendly and cooperative” relationship between Apple and Google? Or has i+anything become a common word with no copyright infringements?
Does anybody know anything about this?
iGoogle is the portal version of google, been using it for a while. I am really wondering if they are going to set that as the standard. It’s very useful, I suggest everyone check it out.
That explains it. I’ve been a fan of the personalized google site for a long time. Maybe it was there before and I never noticed the “i” in front of it.
It’s how I tap into the larger potential of Google.
Agreed, I have also been using it for some time now as well.
