Since when did Google name their customized homepage area iGoogle? Personally I think it's cheesy to copy Apple like this.

Published the April 30 on 'googleblog.blogspot.com': “For a while now, we Googlers have used a bit of shorthand to refer to the Personalized Homepage -- a name that connotes interactivity, the Internet, and personalization all at once. Please meet iGoogle, the new name for the Google Personalized Homepage.”
