It's also a terrible clock. It is incredibly hard to figure out the actual time when you have to look in 3 separate places for each part of the time. It's pretty, but borderline useless, just like flash.

Apple actually has an embarrassingly straightforward implementation of a CSS3 clock on their ipod nano page:

In the new Chrome beta for Mac, when you pull the page down too far to see the grey browser background, Chrome messes up and the background appears as a smear of red.

I despise that they added that extra background in Lion

I know this may be hard to understand, but pretty is an end unto itself. You don't need any better use.

checking out the source i noticed all the hrefs are missing http:, how does that work, whats the purpose of this?

It is a protocol relative url. This way if you are looking at the site over https then the assets will also come down over https.

I was pondering today why no-one really knows about or even uses it.

As a bit of a general question to everyone, did old browsers not support it or something? Or do people prefer using relative urls over absolute style ones?

Could be wrong, but doesn't seem to work in Chrome under Ubuntu.

Chrome 15 and Ubuntu 11.04 for me and it doesn't work. Firefox 7 does though.
