facebook has been down or service disrupted for two days during launch of google+ its new rival.  my issue is not w social media which i do not use.. second life was enuf virtual connection for a lifetime..  as sartre observed "l'enfer c'est les autres." 
my issue is w google's black navigation bar and all the happy hype about it.

there is a method to google's madness.  they're calling it Elasticity:

Elasticity: In the early days, there was pretty much just one way to use Google: on a desktop computer with an average-sized monitor. Over a decade later, all it takes is a look around one’s home or office at the various mobile devices, tablets, high-resolution monitors and TVs to see a plethora of ways to access the web. The new design will soon allow you to seamlessly transition from one device to another and have a consistent visual experience. We aim to bring you this flexibility without sacrificing style or usefulness.

so the purpose to make the illegible black navigation bar at the top of google news, search et al is to make one's pc look more like a mobile device
