  1. How does one go about "discovering" this code? by keilinw · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Very interesting... and somewhat disappointing. I was expecting to see a completely new interface, not the addition of a bar on the left side of the screen. Don't get me wrong, this is useful and a bit attractive.

    However, what I'd really be interested in is whether or not someone outside of Google could have come up with this code themselves? Or, is it an inside job? Or perhaps it is an "unofficial" preview release.

    What is the /. communities response to this....I'm dying to know!

  2. Still no web standards... by StandardsSchmandards · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wonder when Google will change their HTML to be compliant with the W3C recommendations? It is amazing that they are so far behind other companies with regard to markup quality.

    We test interface tweaks all the time to see how people 'like' them. Doesn't mean we will or will not deploy them. So....Nothing (much) to see here, move along :-)
