Google X, anybody still using it?

[RAV TUX]

Just wondering if anybody is still using Google X (http://q4q.org/)?

What is(or was) Google X?


Google X was a project released by Google Labs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Labs) on March 15 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_15), 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005) and rescinded a day later. It consisted of the traditional Google (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google) search bar, but it was made to look like the Dock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_%28computing%29) user interface (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_%28computer_science%29) feature of Apple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer)'s Mac OS X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X) operating system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system).
Google has not released any official statement as to why the project was shut down. Apple has patent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patent) protection covering the implementation of the Dock effect, together with trademark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark) protection for the graphical design elements of the Dock.
Since Google X has been taken down, several mirrors still exist.

Here is a complete list of Google X mirrors (http://mirrors.goox.se/).

Never heard of it before, but its pretty silly. I don't really like docks normally and this one is especially pointless.

We would be very lost :lolflag:

Interesting though. I've never heard of it either.

It looks nice except that it goes to back Google when you search so really it is a pretty frontpage skin of the Google main page.

www.q4q.org - not bad but doesn't really do much?

I like it only because the videos link is on the main page and has not been replaced with products like on the main google navigation. I hate the more button.
