It says "Page not found"
- chaosmachine 18y ago
  The page doesn't appear to be working in some countries (yet?). For example, I can't access it here in Canada, but using a US-based proxy, it shows up fine.

    Is it possible that Google is blocking it until midnight local time?

Do you think, each minute of the day Cadie's blog and video stream will show a tiny 1% cognitive improvement, making "her" 1.7 million times smarter by tomorrow night? We can only hope she finds humans as cute then as she finds pandas now.

  That would be a respectable April First project.

    I guess this wasn't good enough so they had to add more :( http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/cadie/ http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/cadie/

        No, they want attention because they haven't created any buzz in a long time. Here's hoping that the press doesn't pick this up.

        Nah, they do pretty extensive April 1st stuff every year.

The best part is google chrome in 3d. Awesome

  Everyone does realise that this part actually is real, right? As in - there is a stereoscopic chrome download on the page - that does render the pages in 3d when installed? Obviously the printable 3D glasses are a joke, but I gave it a try with some blue/red glasses I got from a Shrek in 3D dvd I was given a couple of years back, and it works. It's actually interesting from a development perspective - they could do a lot with it (admittedly it's a gimmick) if they used a (css z-index * polarized displacement) formula to set depth perspective. Plus my Chrome looks way cool with the 3D glasses icon next to my refresh now.

    I don't know if you're serious I don't have 3D glasses lying around so I can't check. But I would imagine given the right data google chrome could be made to render, lets say specially an noted maps, so that they work with 3D glasses. It could be real, and I hope it is.

I fell for this one. It's not fair if "April's Fool" is celebrated 27 Dic in my country, I will always fall.
