Today I consider the crucial issue of the Google image - the barcode appearing on their home page today, to celebrate the anniversary of the invention of the barcode.

Is this the first time the word google hasn't appeared? Does it actually translate into the word Google? Or does it give the price of Google stock perhaps? Anyone got a barcode reader?

Yes, I do have more important things to be worrying about today but I can usually rely on Google for the answers - today it's raising more questions…
