Tim Dorr Veteran Posted March 16, 2005 Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2005 http://labs.google.com/googlex/ Google goes XToday is an amazing day: A small idea - a fun late-night coding jaunt to help me learn Javascript & DHTML - has just launched on Google Labs. I never expected it to make it as far as it has when I wrote it a month ago, especially since my "real" job is working on Keyhole, where I'm having the time of my life taking our cool 3D mapping application and putting the power of Google behind it. It's fulfilling to have the opportunity to reach the audience we always dreamed of when we started Keyhole five years ago, and that by itself is absolute coolness. And now there's Google X, which came about because I wanted a quick fun way to access all of Google's services. I gave it to a few friends in the company, who gave it to their friends, some posted it on their blogs, others sent it around on mailing lists, and it eventually made its way to Marissa Mayer, who liked it enough to say, when do you want to put it up on Labs? So after some spit and polish from some enthusiastic Googlers and the keen eye of the UI team, Google X is here. I hope all of you enjoy it - especially Mac users, who I'm sure will appreciate its lineage.

But seriously, I hope he didn't spend too much time on that :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/297173-google-x/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Flaw...when you move the mouse over an icon from the top or the bottom it zooms the image, and the images to the left and right of the icon move aside. This behaviour doesn't work if you now move your mouse left and right, only if you move the mouse off all icons and start again.

streetw0lf Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Flaw...when you move the mouse over an icon from the top or the bottom it zooms the image, and the images to the left and right of the icon move aside. This behaviour doesn't work if you now move your mouse left and right, only if you move the mouse off all icons and start again. I don't think it's a flaw. Notice that once the icons move aside they stay this way until you move the mouse off of the bar. So there is no need to move aside the icons after the first time unless you move the pointer off the bar.
