If you blinked you might have missed it. Google’s labs had put up “Google X”, a Google search home page which emulated Apple’s Mac OS X look and feel, particularly with respect to the dock function. When you used the Google X interface, above the search box were cute little dock icons, and when you moused over them, just like with the OS X dock icons, they were magnified. Very cute, very Apple. Which is probably why the Google X page was taken down yesterday, a scant week after it went up, and only a few days after most became aware of it.
But lament not, even if you never got a chance to see the original Google X. Because it has been resurrected by at least one interpid Google X enthusiast.
So now, thanks to the miracle of Google’s own caching (oh, the irony!), you can check out Google X.

I like it! The OSX look has much more appeal than the plain text.
Bring it back!
Sweet….and such irony on top of it all…..How long will it last though?
Maybe another case of Apple’s Legal Dept trying to keep busy.
The mystery continues ? Why did they pull it and why are they silent ?
