#13When posting something like this, please explain to me what I should expect and why it is interesting, either here or on your blog or whatever.
What happens is namely that I get a page that looks like google.com. Big whoop. And considering that the URL contains the string "chromeexperiments" I didn't immediately realize that I had to open it in Safari instead of Chrome to see the effect.
For others in the same pickle: The effect is that the DOM elements fall down, as if there is gravity.

#14Nice effect! In this, the motion and positioning are somewhat arbitrary/random. (Well, later query results pile on top like sediment, but it does not otherwise appear that the acceleration/velocity or start/end positions are indicators of result type, relevance, etc.) My guess is that with the rising ease of animation on the web, motion (and changing scale/rotation/etc) will increasingly be used as a substantive indi…

#19Wow, pretty impressive tilting that around on an iPhone.
The same can be achieved with MacBooks for those of you that don't know. (I'm not sure if there are other laptops that support this.) EDIT: I just noticed this won't work in Safari, but it will work in Chrome.
Not working in Chrome here (Chrome 22; OS X 10.8.2).
