    Well just about everything with Google has gone back to the old days of BETA.

    My homepage is now a new BETA
    https://encrypted.google.com/
    I really like that ^

    They have
    Google+ (In Beta) < Still have no invite
    Google Music(In Beta) < Have to live in America or get to an american server
    Google Cloud(Working Beta) < there is probably some excuse behind that. lol

    add to it . ha ha

    Even to make things happier on this Beta Thread
    My Theme is Boards beta.
    Yay beta Time :D:D:D

    Regular Google search is out of beta right?? You're using the encrypted SSL version which is in beta.

    Ok, wtf do people mean by beta?
    I know alpha beta, and I know I could google it but when someone says "oh, so and so has now a new beta...", wtf is that? Just a different version or summit?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,871 ✭✭✭Conor108

    It defaulted my safesearch back to moderate.
    I missed possible tits in my image search of the word tits because of this.

    I use tits to test search engines.
    It's a brilliant idea and you're just jealous you didn't think of it first.

    If it's anywhere near as good as googlewave I just cannot wait for all of the wonder that is this new crap social network I already hate without having any experience of.
    Lets just turn this into a google+ sucks thread. So we can look cool in years to come.

    So what, you prefer the white bar??

    Racist :eek:

    Beta is a good way for the early adopters to find bugs for the masses. I'll take the agile approach over the waterfall any time!

    Wow. Just wow. Reminds me of these videos

    ONE Youtube Video

    TWO Youtube Video(Parody)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Little Acorn


    I don't like all the changes.
    I don't like the black bar, it actually imo makes it harder to read the text under it.
    I don't like the way the writing turns red on anything you click in the sidebar, such as "everything", "images" or "videos" etc.
    Red, Black, White and Blue is a horrible colour combination to have on your screen.:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,024 ✭✭✭shannon_tek


    Anyone like the new Youtube. Again the black bar to be in theme with the main black bar which does everything. Google+ gmail, webs, maps,blogs shopping.... list goes on. but i like it because its tied in with everything.
