Google's X Files disappear | The Register
by Shannon at 1:04 pm EST, Mar 17, 2005

] Google has unceremoniously, and without comment, yanked
] its latest labs "project" after less than twenty four
] hours. In 'Google X' a software engineer had replaced the
] main text navigation bar on the Google home page with a
] Mac OS X-style dock. A row of eight icons zoomed and
] shrank as the mouse hovered over them, the row itself
] shuffling to make room for the expansion - exactly like
] Mac OS X's dock.
]
]
] "Today is an amazing day," burbled software engineer
] Chikai Ohazama on the Google weblog. "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," he continued.
]
]
] "I hope all of you enjoy it - especially Mac users, who
] I'm sure will appreciate its lineage."
]
]
] No, really.
]
]
] In case anyone missed the Mac reference, a sickly
] reminder above the Google copyright notice read: "Roses
] are red. Violets are blue. OS X rocks. Homage to you."

Neat. Still can be found here: http://dinkdoink.com/me/googlex/
