Google Wave's 'Fail Whale'
- middus 17y agoIf I was dependent on Google Wave and confronted with this page when planning to use it, it would probably make me angry. Looks cool, though.
- ryandvm 17y agoI think that guy has psoriasis.
- WesleyJohnson 17y agoI love to see that they're using jQuery for the animations. I'm anxious to see more people going this route over Flash. Not that there is anything wrong with Flash, and it may very well be better suited for this type of work, I just want to see the uses and plugins for jQuery continue to evolve.
- sp332 17y agoThat's eager, not anxious ;)
- WesleyJohnson 17y agoYou know, I almost used "eager" too. English was never a strong subject for me. Come to think of it, neither was math or science or history. ;)
- bcl 17y agoI sure hope not. Their simple animation spikes one of my cores just to animate some clouds. Not a very efficient way to animate things.
- dualogy 17y agoNow, that's Cloud computing in action.
- dualogy 17y agoWow, first time ever I got down to zero...
- mbrubeck 17y agoNewer WebKit browsers use the GPU to accelerate css-transform animations (giving your CPU a break). Check out the example on this page in the latest version of Chrome or Safari, for example: http://webkit.org/blog/324/css-animation-2/ http://webkit.org/blog/324/css-animation-2/
- NathanKP 17y agoThanks for the resource link. I can't wait until Firefox can do this. I want to use webkit animation in my website, but for now they would only work in Safari and Chrome.
- rimantas 17y agoWhen I see what Flash does to my CPU on OS X I somehow doubt that it is more efficient.
- freddier 17y agoOf course, you're not comparing fair examples of SWF vs. jQuery. I guess it's ok to ignore the obvious advantages of Flash if you can bash a full features app or animation compared to the Google Wave error page.

- nishantmodak 17y agoLove how the wave(s) [the real ones] come forward and go back - in the animation. If using 'Google wave' was as good as the image. serene. [It is not! its a wave storm]
- sscheper 17y agowhen will i be able to get a google wave login?
- MikeCapone 17y agoWhat's with the 16 colors graphics?

- danohuiginn 17y agoWelcome to the web graphics time-warp
- redorb 17y agoprobably the best they can do at 7k http://wave.google.com/maintenance/images/feet.gif http://wave.google.com/maintenance/images/feet.gif
- DarkShikari 17y ago6k with pngout. They're probably stuck with gif because of IE6.
- warfangle 17y agoWave doesn't even work with IE6. It's dicey with IE8 - thus their release of chrome frame.

- zerowolfgang 17y agohmmm, could be prep for this: http://bit.ly/L1a1Q http://bit.ly/L1a1Q
- wheaties 17y agoWould love to click on that but those pesky little web-filter things disable URL shorteners here. Anyone care to link a full link?
- tdupree 17y agoArticle Title: Google Wave to be opened for federation today! Yes, for you to host. Full link: http://thenextweb.com/appetite/2009/10/30/breaking-google-wave-opened-federation-today-host/ http://thenextweb.com/appetite/2009/10/30/breaking-google-wa...

- jeremyw 17y agoI wonder if they actually ran this by women. Images of feet are a little dicey for the fairer sex. My sample size of two brought back two creepy's.
- deleted 17y ago[deleted]
- axod 17y agoAlso IMHO these are just weird feet - the toe next to the big toe, is longer than the big toe :/ Which isn't usual IMHO.
- crux 17y agoWow, I never would have thought but my girlfriend just said the exact same thing. She doesn't like looking at feet and thinks they're gross.
- blueben 17y agoMy wife thinks the feet could use improvement. That they're a little creepy and look like something out of Oregon Trail.
- zyb09 17y ago... the fuck? sorry you guys are sometimes just ridiculous. Can't show feet cause women oppose them? Whats going on in your head?

- nym 17y agoThe colors make my eyes hurt. Hitting back to HN is serene in comparison.
- mark_l_watson 17y agoI don't think that I have ever seen their web site down, but in the last 3 months (or so), a few times my robots stopped getting event notifications for brief periods of time. But, hey, the system is in beta. I'm pretty much enthusiastic about Wave: I'm writing a DevX article right now on Wave robot programming, and I have a business idea using the Wave platform that I want to try out.
