Google and their black bar

Posted under General by Kimberly on Wednesday 29 June 2011 at 12:55 pm UTC

Well, I’ve seen a lot of people bitching on twitter over the last few days. Google seem to be finding out that “You can’t please everyone all of the time”

Google has unleashed what some think is the “Black bar of death” Now, not everyone has this bar and I only have it on my business Google Apps account. But I kinda like it. It’s clean and easy to read. Yeah, I like black but hell it could be worse. It could be fluro yellow or green..

Anyway, I fail to see where the problem is, Why do so many dislike it?

What are your thoughts? Do you like the black bar or not. I for one hope it sticks around.

  • @velofille: depends on what "effect/sound" you want out of the pedal.. I'd suggest going to a Rockshop if you don't know what you're after #
  • @velofille: have a play with various pedals then decide on the sound you can narrow down the search a little based on the type of effect #
  • @velofille: the multi effect pedals are usually a hell of a lot dearer than single flanger, chorus, reverb, distortion etc.. pedals #
