I'm not a fan of googles design principals, but Apple seems pretty generic imo. Especially their main site.

Well at least it loaded for me in Opera, unlike the Google I/O site which reminded me of the dark days of the single browser web.
Opera basically is dead though, so I don't think one can reasonably expect new websites to test for it. Now, if it didn't work in Firefox or IE11, then that would be significantly more questionable. Edit: I'm assuming we're talking about classic Opera, not the Chromium build that is currently called Opera but is actually Chromium.
That's exactly what people said with their "Designed for IE" websites back during 2000 to 2004.
Whatever happened to coding according to web standards? This isn't a small boutique shop that cannot afford testing, this is a huge multinational company.

#23"We're no longer controlling every pixel. It's more like jazz improvisation." Matias Duarte, VP Design @ Google. Super interesting concept. The abstraction of design.
That seems super wand wavy and ambiguous. What is that even supposed to mean? Anyone have a guess?

#24Hmm. Material design is clicking twice on the play button to launch a Youtube video.
Basically this, everything seems like it's hidden behind another gesture.

#25The video sounds really like http://vooza.com/ video's.

#26Am I the only one who gets a headache trying to decipher tile layouts like this? My eyes bounce back and forth and I still have no idea how the information is structured or what's important. I appreciate that Google is sharing all of this though.
Back button doesn't work right on that site. It gets you back to the top of previous page, it doesn't take you down where you were on the page. I love modern web UX.
(Firefox & Chromium. )

It's gonna get worse before it gets better.... http://beta.united.com/ It it a button? Or a dialog box? Maybe it's an ad. Flip a coin!
Exactly...I don't understand it :( The new Azure portal looks very similar and it's borderline unusable. Unless I'm just resistant to change and will eventually warm up to it but it seems to violate a lot of fundamental design principles.
Kinda of topic but from the PoV of a third-party developper who had to test a lot of workflows in this new Azure portal: it's indeed a nightmare.
Why do I have to click so many times and watch so many panel opening/closing animations before getting to basic features?
Also closing 5 panels before opening a new one feels like a huge waste of time.

Hardly. Mozilla/Gecko may have been obscure at the time, but it was under active development. Opera is very definitely dead.

So by "web standards" do you mean "older web standards supported by an outdated browser"?

#29Our design team is trying to use Material guidelines in an upcoming app. I needed to remind them that while there are good elements in the guidelines, there is a lot that isn't good and they need to leave those parts behind. This certainly reinforces that feeling for me.

#30For those of you who weren't aware: this seems like an adaptation to the work their interns were doing for MaterializeCSS (materializecss.com)
