- MacTyler, on 03/11/2008, -0/+23Yeah because i'm sure he didn't have to write this from scratch.
Google's Version: http://www.joeanderson.co.uk/google/
His version: http://www.safalra.com/web-design/javascript/mac-s ...
Its totally different guys, he didn't "steal" the google EX code, he wrote this from scratch to mimic Mac OS X's dock. Get a life. - roberto_deneero, on 03/11/2008, -3/+22So does your penis.
- dshPls, on 03/11/2008, -0/+18This is the same thing that plagued the flash community. No one is ever going to use this for the power of good. Beginners will think its awesome and use it on their dads friends pottery website, and that's it.
- Ramble, on 03/11/2008, -15/+30I like the way he stole it from Google X and passed it off as his own.
- dpcamp, on 03/11/2008, -3/+18i would have thought this was cool, back in 2004
- askegg, on 03/11/2008, -1/+13How can you blame the operating system because you can't work a keyboard?
- slimjim5811, on 03/11/2008, -1/+12It's okay. End icons get a little jumpy.
- rauz, on 03/11/2008, -1/+11So buying a Mac allows people to implement the dock behavior onto their websites? Cool!
- Konstantino, on 03/11/2008, -2/+12I thought Object Dock was create to MIMICK OS X's dock functionality?
- deaftly, on 03/11/2008, -6/+16Wow, ***** like this makes it to the front page?
- caerwyn, on 03/11/2008, -0/+92600 bytes, not 2600k. Still too much for such an effect, but better than 2.6mb!
- MrCalifornia, on 03/11/2008, -3/+11Is this not the first thing everyone turns off when they buy a Mac?
- Rauby, on 03/11/2008, -1/+9Safari + Webkit. Makes your geeky life much happier.
- Kyan, on 03/11/2008, -0/+8Dude, you are obviously pissed. Go end it already.
- Trat, on 03/11/2008, -1/+9Just use webkit
- rauz, on 03/11/2008, -0/+7Runs great for me, I couldn't live without the extensions and all the functions that Firefox has and Safari hasn't.
Why do you think it's crap? It's stable for me on 10.5.2 and I run both FF2 and the new FF3 beta. - DaffyDuck, on 03/11/2008, -0/+7It's obviously Apple's and Leopard's fault that your Macally keyboard is crap.
- ronintetsuro, on 03/11/2008, -1/+8The non-brainwashed kind?
- catachip, on 03/11/2008, -2/+9Since you're only 13, you'll still have more time to learn how to type properly and avoid all those typing errors.
- roberto_deneero, on 03/11/2008, -1/+7User error.
- timusca, on 03/11/2008, -5/+11I never would have thought you were cool... not even in 2004.
- everfresh59, on 03/11/2008, -5/+10Useless effects.......
As for OSX, it takes a day to get over these effects... After that you don't bother, simply because by this time, you already have Quicksilver installed. - Dracusis, on 03/12/2008, -0/+5Awesome, cause I'm always thingking, man websites need more Dock's like OS X.
Honestly now, how'd this crap make it to the front page? The rock is OS Xs main usability flaw, why on earth would anyone want it on a web page?
It fails as an application launcher, it'd be criminal to use it for a website menu. Don't get me wrong, I'm a mac fan, but the Dock has always been a slur on what is otherwise a great OS. Oh and I've seen better javascript docks as far back as 2004, as useless as they are, this is is even more useless and poorly coded to boot. - SublimeRuin, on 03/11/2008, -1/+6Extensions.....ftw.
- inactive, on 03/11/2008, -0/+4needs a better resizing algorithm.
- caerwyn, on 03/11/2008, -0/+4Author's sorta cheating and just resizing the images without actually properly handling the positioning of them, so the further you get from the center of the "dock" the more wrong the positioning will be compared to how the effect is supposed to work.
- RedGreen1, on 03/11/2008, -1/+5Because pottery websites are purely evil...
- ronintetsuro, on 03/11/2008, -1/+5Stardock is *definitely* the best bloatware to date to feature this.
- ssttuu, on 03/11/2008, -1/+5Try FF3 b5, truely unstable! Although it still renders microsoft.com better than IE8!
- rauz, on 03/11/2008, -0/+3Well worth it for me. Also, mileage may vary.
- dood, on 03/11/2008, -0/+3What's it doing that's completely illogical?
- Rauby, on 03/11/2008, -1/+4Firefox 3 beta 3 rocks ass! Truly
- juicebag, on 03/11/2008, -0/+3What's with Mac users and assuming anyone who makes an anti-Mac sentiment is being paid to say it?
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -1/+4Strangely enough, I actually turn it on, but only with very little magnification. Old habits I guess.
- crizo, on 03/11/2008, -0/+2Failed - doesn't degrade without javascript.
- SublimeRuin, on 03/11/2008, -0/+2huh??
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -0/+2I agree that moving elements are bad things, however, in Apple's implementation, they're not as bad as they could be. When hovered, the icons actually appear in their original locations, not moved randomly to the side as in this Javascript implementation.
- smrekar, on 03/12/2008, -0/+2this is about using java, RTFA please
- vault, on 03/11/2008, -2/+4I didn't have that prob with FF2 but try the new FF3b3 beta.
- MacTyler, on 03/12/2008, -0/+2yeah, you know, now that were all spamming and stuff, I think I'm gonna have to put it on your sisters.
- rauz, on 03/12/2008, -0/+1Remove It Permanently to remove things Adblock can't remove, DownThemAll to manage/speed up/simplify massive downloads, Linkification turns text links into clickable links (you'd be amazed how practical that is), PicLens (mostly flash but still cool), Redirect Remover to remove disclaimer pages for every external link I click on some forums I frequent, TabMixPlus for better session saving and a lot of added tab features.
I'm on a modern computer so it doesn't slow my computer down noticeably, sure some of them might seem unnecessary but they make my life a little bit easier so why shouldn't I use them. Safari just isn't enough once you've gotten used to FF, sorry. - inactive, on 03/12/2008, -0/+1....he should use png to make it scale much better...
- MattBD, on 03/12/2008, -0/+1Why buy a Mac just for that? Kooldock in KDE does exactly the same thing, and you can get a Linux distro for free.
- MikeDugg, on 03/12/2008, -0/+1or...just get a Mac
- gegan249, on 03/12/2008, -0/+1wtf?
- portos12, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1Apple’s Mac OS X operating system is renowned for its fluid graphical effects
http://www.bestipodtips.info - whitesaint, on 03/12/2008, -0/+1Mercury OS X thing is very cool. Still needs more work though.
- falafelkiosken, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1It's good. I've seen another "Dock" made with flash, it completly sucked. For once it was slow, and I mean, Flash? This is much better with Javascript, and it doesn't use much cpu
- Kerath, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1What's the point of this? It's not more intuitive or easier to use than a simple row of icons.
- migitalwarfare, on 03/13/2008, -0/+1you realize you're at digg.com, right? nobody reads the articles, they just assume they know everything and spout off whatever slightly related info they do know. it's called "being intelligent."
