Pressing any key on the keyboard makes it jump too when your pointer has already disturbed them

Doesn't for me, I'm using chrome

I see nothing apart from the normal Google logo. WTF am i missing here?

IE8, Chrome, Firefox shows me nothing.

Ian · 7 Sep 2010 at 14:11

I get nothing using Chrome and Firefox. Only seems to work in IE8 for me

Ko0lHaNDLuKe · 7 Sep 2010 at 14:18

Works fine with Firefox on my MacBook Pro. And it's pretty cool I have to say!

This is brilliant

Much better than actually doing productive work this afternoon!

Also, doesn't explain why its available to european countries only.

Eh? Works for me

My guess is that the bubbles are meant to be balloons

You get it on the google.com website? I cant see it on that site.

It works on google.co.uk, google.de, google.fr, google.it and thats where my knowledge of local domains end. Doesn't work on google.co.jp. Agan thats where my knowledge of domains ends.

Yep, works on .com for me.

.co.uk also works for me.

It could be a DNS issue, I use openDNS. I have no idea why Google would limit it to specific counties, if they are. :confused:

.jp doesn't show bubbles for me

Maybe their webmasters are just lazy

Make sure you are using google. CO . UK

If you're using a UK IP address google.com should auto-resolve to google.co.uk anyway.

Unless they have reversed that policy, of course

saw this thread and ignored it earlier - just checked now it's pretty cool!

THMRK · 7 Sep 2010 at 15:30

I think it's cool how it still reacts even when it's not the primary window open. If you place a window over half of it, it still works.

Probably just to show off HMTL5 tbh.

Edrof · 7 Sep 2010 at 17:28

Shaking the window is pretty fun.

Ahaha just tried that.

The cool thing is that even on my lowly netbook it runs well whereas in flash it would most likely be lagging. It'll be nice when its the standard as it'll mean great multimedia capabilities+nice UI's that run on any devices and with very little CPU utilization.

dunno if its been mentioned earlier, but in firefox, the balls expand when they move, but in IE they stay the same size...

Microsoft are a bit behind with HTML5 but I think they plan to jump to the front of the pack with IE9.
