Best of the Rest: Google's 'Fail Whale,' Saving Geocities

by Thomas Houston on October 30, 2009 at 07:30 PM

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Google hopped on the 'Fail Whale' bandwagon with its animated 'down for maintenance' page (seen above). [From: Google Wave]
  • In case you just can't get enough animated gifs and terribly designed pages, someone backed up 600,00 GeoCities sites before this week's shutdown. [From: DownloadSquad]
  • Create a stop-motion movie with your iPhone with the new Timelapser app. [From: CNET]
  • The Internet is getting its grubby hands in everything, so it's no surprise that it's changing Halloween. [From: The Telegraph]
