It's the same on all localised google pages, and your link doesn't point to google.
I reported it but I'm not sure if it's a rules violation as much as it is a scummy thing to do. If a person must go click-fishing, at least be honest about it. Of course it could be an honest mistake and I'm too cynical.
Aaanyway, the barcode logo is great. Someone with a smartphone should scan it with that barcode scanner application and see if anything comes up.

Yeah, but his link says "Google", I don't think he's supposed to do that specially just to get more views.
And I tried scanning the barcode, nothing came up.
I just scanned the barcode, it actually says "Google" in barcode language
Had to be really didnt it lol

That's excellent! I figured Google wouldn't disappoint.
So now, do we think it's a coincidence that your Android phone picked up the barcode but anjinhamarota's iPhone did not? *gets tin foil*
Specifically, uses the Code 128 encoding format:

There's an online Code 128 encoder website I found and tried (by using a GOOG search; never heard of them before), entering 'Google' as the data; the output matched Google's barcode exactly:

Thought that was a nice (and fun) touch on Google's part to feature that stuff today.

My app only reads barcodes with numbers.
Which Android phone BTW?
