Why is this on top of Hacker News? What is amazing about this?

Can someone extract and de-obfuscate (or de-compress) the snow JS here so other people can use this on their sites?

You could search on Altavista for nice Javascript snow effects.

There's a great open source snow JavaScript available here: http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/

Do they announce these things somewhere, or did someone actually input "let it snow" and thought to post it here?

I doubt they announce it. With these kind of things that will spread virally, you only need to "infect" a small population for it to spread.

Ah, reminds me of another search trick that doesn't work any more -- make fart noises and voice recognition recognizes it as New York.

Oh, damn, I could've used that to antagonize my New Yawk cousins on Christmas.

Reminds me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=i...

I wonder why they didn't enable this in their tablet layout. I thought performance at first, but It runs acceptably well on my iPad 2 when identifying as OSX Safari in terra browser, and the desktop version even responds to changes in the accelerometer.

Try now.

Google is becoming notorious for not supporting the iPad. I found Google+ to be totally unusable.

It is because the defrost with pointer effect wouldn't work on ipad because that is how you drag

It works including the defrost effect on my iPad...

I don't need convincing. I am aware that it is a bad thing. I am also aware that Google getting involved is a bad thing. I am also aware that the people on the other side of the argument aren't necessarily bad or uneducated people like the person I was replying to claimed.

He didn't say uneducated, just uninformed.
