Picasa find: Finder icon gets a new job on Canon digicam
It's apparent that Mr. Finder has had his fill of Apple and the Mac, as he's now finding work elsewhere. TUAW reader Aleksander found Mr. Finder hanging out on the back of a new Canon A3000IS digital camera, where he's apparently used to enable a face detection function. Sure, the FInder icon has tried to cover up his face by putting on a little makeup to get rid of that two-tone blue tan, and it looks like he may have also gotten a little rhinoplasty, but it's him.
We're wondering just how widespread Mr. Finder's disloyalty to Apple really is. If you happen to find him anywhere else, snap a photo of him, send it to Flickr, and tag it with TUAW so the world will know.

Doesn't look anything like the trademarked Finder icon!
The quality of TUAW's blog posts has dropped significantly over the past month or so. Probably am gonna delete the app soon.
Steve the Canon icon doesn't look at all like the finder.
I look forward to more of your usual articles and less of the Saturday I can't think of what to write about articles.
I think he just meant the finder icon doesn't get used much.

Man, lighten up, folks. I actually guffawed aloud, on a Saturday, with a no-sleep hangover. It was cute. It needed a premise. They made one. PASS
