services.google.com gives me orange text on a sort of dark grey background reading "This space intentionally left blank" ?? has it always been like this? i mean, orange?? |
I can't remember whether the text has always been orange, but the page has certainly been there for ages. The "Last-Modified" HTTP header says:
Last-Modified: Fri, 05 Sep 2003 03:38:57 GMT
So, it's probably been orange – or "gold" according to the color name – for at least a couple of years... |
That is so weird, why not just put in a redirect? |
because it's Google! They're unique... |
speaking about service.google.com and other subdomains (ie. eval.google.com | eval2 | sandbox | etc...) my theory is that high level Googlers or Google Trusted Tester Managers email a "secure browser certificate" to special (top-secret) people who can gain access to these super-google-secret gateways if of course your "secure certificate" is matches and validates and is not past the expire date and with the proper level access for each subdomain.
if anyone who is a "top-secret-agent" of Google can come out clean and confirm my theory... it would so help me not look like a paranoid idiot and thus proving to Google Fanatics that "eval.google.com" (the rumored Human-Rating Evaluation Tester super hidden site of Google) exist.
Thank you for not laughing =) |
Hey Josue, I think you are pretty much right on your theory.. The eval.google.com is zoned onto 216/239.49.32 which falls into the /19 class of 216.239.32.0 – 216.239.63.255 , which technically is not part of the Google IP Ranges, but yet is still owned by google.. what is deployed in this extranet is always intriguing..!!
