yeah, it's very non-Google somehow..
Or maybe the new Google. Or the same Google we always had.
You're saying it's a 0 or a 1?

#42Chrome on Windows 7 bug report: back button doesn't work, mouse wheel doesn't work (scrolls at infinitesimal speed), touch-screen style controls which don't work well with a mouse (click&drag, besides not being intuitive with a mouse, is also broken because it navigates to the selected item on mouse button release)

#43I would prefer a .txt file list over this, I can't even tell the order without individual clicks.
The actual data is so boring (hint: Miley Cyrus) that it's purely an exercise in wasteful over-engineering.

#44Google Zeitgeist 2013: black box. The video doesn't load for me on Firefox. It is probably just a bug and will be fixed but it coincidentally prints the correct picture of Google's current stance on browser compatibility. Anyone else thinks that the silent conversion tactics are slowly becoming more obvious?
The video appears to be an mp4 (the network monitor says so) and it should work fine (it does here). Please ensure you have the latest FF version, available from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ (in case the update fails).

Flashblock catches it for me in FF25, the video is actually

Perhaps you don't have Flash installed, you lucky thing.

#46What a shitty user experience. What changed at google? They used to have these rather simple, useful, UIs.
I hit the button to say exactly that, but you beat me to it. It's unbelievably bad, even by Google's rapidly declining standards....

I have Firefox 26.0 installed, it still fails on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10 (64 bit both).

Flash is installed, no blocking add-ons were used. For that matter, I have disabled all other add-ons, that could be interfering and still get the same result.
It could be a flash (64 bit) issue. Also, that's not the video that would show for me, because of localization (Germany). Despite my preference for the English language and google.com over google.de, Google tries to show me this video instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hVwx13k1QM .

In Chrome I get an empty dark blue screen unless I tell Ghostery not to block the Google +1 tracker.
