Bug reporter of Apple. It seems it has been traveled for a long time… with the appearance of maybe AQUA from Mac OS X 10.1 or 10.2. Its layout is arranged with a lot of nested tables, a proof of ancient created webpage.
Ah, it still looks cute, isn’t it? These AQUAs had already been the past, though.
The new TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) has recently got a new layout design. I noticed that it’s also got a fly-out sticker: assuming you’ve finished reading when you scroll to the end of the article, the sticker will give you a “Related Reading. It will fly out from right near the bottom of your browser window, so as to be not too disturbing. It reminds me of some “coming right up” notifications used on TV shows.
I think it’s an interesting design, though it’s not either positive or negative for me. Well, just keep it in mind as an idea.

Picture above: Screenshot of Chrome 9 rendering <meter> and <progress> under OS X with appearances of native system UI. Samples from quackit.com.
A newer build of WebKit and Chrome 9+ now renders HTML5 <meter> and <progress> elements. Opera 11 also supports the two elements, yet rendering two alike as the same element in appearance. Firefox 4 beta 11 hasn’t support the two tags. The WebKit Safari 5.0.3 is using seems too old, which doesn’t support them, either.
