Google & Design

"Yes, it’s true that a team at Google couldn’t decide between two
blues, so they’re testing 41 shades between each blue to see which one
performs better. I had a recent debate over whether a border should be
3, 4 or 5 pixels wide, and was asked to prove my case. I can’t operate
in an environment like that. "

and thats the reason google and it's applications look the way they do.

CSS Sprites are Stupid – Let's Use Archives Instead!

apparently in firefox you can address images (and files in general) inside a .jar archive (renamed .zip-file) like this: jar:test.jar!/img1.png.
So you can compress you images, css and js files inside a single file (thus requiring only a single connection to the server an compressing the data in one turn).
neat!
