Woah spent ages staring at google.com front page wondering what the heck are you talking about But in .co.uk I see the bawls.
The balls represent Google playing about with HTML 5, guys. That's why it's up on their site They're just playing with the technology to see what it can do.
Ah, there it is. I use Firefox and have my homepage set to iGoogle (or whatever it is that they call it), so I tried it in IE and only got the regular Google. I set my iGoogle page in Firefox to display "classic" Google, and now I see the balls. Pretty cool.
Oh man! You've cheered me up Google! This is soooo much fun! And the sheep dogging, wicked! Cya guys, I'm off to play with google.
I like the thing they got going today as well. Took me a couple of visits to notice it. The letters in google start grey but then colour themselves one at a time and text cursor appears in the logo as you type a letter into the search box. Only working at google.co.uk for me. google.com redirects me to the local(uae) site which it doesnt have the effect.
