This Google fade-in is great! I also liked New Coke, Crystal Pepsi, Windows Vista and can’t imagine why they weren’t successful.
But seriously, I only load up google.com to NOT search. Meaning — for Gmail, Calendar and everything else. To search, I just use the Google Toolbar. So the fade seriously sucks for me.
How I fixed it
I tried YesScript for Firefox, which is awesome (like NoScript, but a lot simpler) but it just blindly disables ALL JavaScript, even on Gmail and Calendar. The GreaseMonkey script posted by Jangly Mark did the trick for me. Life is normal again and I no longer care if Google fixes this egregious error. The script is available at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/63436 and requires GreaseMonkey. (more…)
So I got hooked up with a workstation with a new iMac so I can do graphics work for ABC Embroidery. Still setting the computer up to meet all my requirements, but now I’m getting a lot of good hands-on experience with it — something that I never had the chance to do while working at Apple Store (ironic, ain’t it?).
