While we are still in the Apple topic, here is an interesting history news. Google X was a Mac-like interface for Google (see above image) that was developed in Google Labs in 2005. Apparently the application was only live for one day. After which Google has removed it to prevent a suit from Apple.
Thanks to ElliotBack you can see the functional Google X here. You may also download the Google X homepage in a zip file here.
