Google is testing it's new look, but you can't see it directly. Here's a JavaScript tweak that gets anyone into Google's new look test.

Copy the code, paste it into the address bar of your browser when on google.com and hit return, If things work out and reload Google, you should find yourself as new participant of Google's latest and more all-encompassing prototype test. a new look to Google’s Search Options feature with a new logo, buttons, and always-visible left-hand pane in results.

The search options appear in the left-hand column. The former “All results” area that allowed you to switch between different types of searches (images, news, maps and so on) has been replaced with new tabs for these services. How do you like this? go Leave a comment on Blogoscoped.

If all goes well, the cleaner display may be launched across Google after the New Year.

If you're looking for a simple way of having your iPhone/iPod stand in front of you without spending any money. Here is an old Mini DV tape case, this hack is just pure genius. Sometimes the greatest ideas are just lying right in front of you. (photo by @danlane)

Google has just announced the release of a new, open sourced programming language called Go. Google promote it as: … simple … fast … safe … fun … open source

Go attempts to combine the development speed of working in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++. In our experiments with Go to date, typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. And the compiled code runs close to the speed of C. Go is designed to let you move fast.

We’re hoping Go turns out to be a great language for systems programming with support for multi-processing and a fresh and lightweight take on object-oriented design, with some cool features like true closures and reflection.

Here is an example code:

package mainimport "fmt"func main() {  fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界\n")}

Designers ended up rethinking what a “frame” meant, getting rid of basic key components, and creating a new type of bicycling that is more about fashion and culture than speed and performance.

Design firm JRuiter Studio has designed this super minimalist “City Bike”. It was aim to live / worke in an inner city environment with minimal space.
