Google is a weirdo on URLs... Adding a slash at the end makes it work again. :)
http://www.google.com/whatsnew/ |
Actually this is the correct url: http://www.google.com/whatsnew/index.html
They currently don't have a RewriteRule^ for "whatsnew". |
Never seen this page before- but it's certainly not new. Now, when they come out with G-OS or G-Drive.. |
The page is old. They did a find-and-replace to have 2007 on all the pages. |
ive never seen it before either..
and funny thing with the slash part Haochi :)
also notice Google Labs has a different logo (well, sorta) :

So Google has NEVER updated this page? (apart for the date)
What's the point in keeping that page? |
Yeah
Wayback Machine and GB has the same font

Mrrix32, It's a classic case of software rot! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot
Do a site search for Google: [site:www.google.com]. It returns about 524000 pages, which divided by 6000 Google employees (I'm "downsizing" a couple of thousand to get just the engineers) means every Google engineer is responsible for 87 pages. They simply start having problems coping with the complexity they created :) |
