GoogleX: Google meets the Apple Dock

Apple, Google, Tech Add comments

GoogleX. I think an Apple fan had fun in the Google Labs with his 20% time? :)

On the plus side:

  • You can fit more items in than text

On the minus side:

  • You have to ‘learn’ what a lot of those icons MEAN. Having to mouseover to read the name is painful

It would be nice to have a personalized Google home page where power users can choose icons / text / icons+text… and can even choose which tools they want there etc.
