It's basically what GMail used to look like:

They just didn't spend money on updating the design of something that probably works perfectly fine.

I didn't realize I missed that version of the internet so much.

Outrageous. It brings back memories of sites that were simple, fully functional, light, and designed in a non-obnoxious way.

I assume this is in reference to the article about Google opening up their corporate tools/services to their users on the Internet, but I've seen this MOMA login page (at least what I call it) before last year and probably before that too. On that premise I assume @google.com users have been able to log in from the Internet for a while, anyone have some light to shed on what's recently changed? :)

It is the MOMA login page :) From my time at google (around 6 months ago), you can access this page for a lot of services, but some of them will be accessible only from the intranet (or if you login to a VPN from the internet). What has changed is the number of services that are now accessible from the internet.

Also, when I was working there, I could not remote into my desktop from my company laptop from my home without signing onto VPN. Not sure of that has changed, but they wished to phase out VPN completely.

for ssh, they use chrome ssh plugin and connect via ssh-over-http now. no vpn needed.

It's not not just MOMA, but any corporate website. The assumption of "oh, they're on the corp network, they must be a googler" has been removed.

One of the two JS files included is readable without any extra work.

Also this interesting HTML comment at the top of the page:

    <!--googleoff: all-->

That's just a special instruction to the Google 'Search Appliance' not to crawl the page contents.

Interesting. Unfortunately it's specifically for Google Search Appliance - not for the main Google web-search: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14314111/avoid-google-to-...

Could it be a special directive to Google Chrome?

Looking at the wayback machine, it seems that they used to use tool called UberProxy: https://sites.google.com/a/google.com/uberproxy/

They still do.

I thought the entire corp subdomain was not publicly accessible...this is surprising.

Here's (one of) Microsoft's login pages (I've seen a buddy use something like this):

That's for the developer network(if you are developing for X360 or XOne):

Does anyone else find the random images creepy as fuck?

benley11 lat temu

What's creepy about them? I don't know if this is still the case, but for many years the images on the corpsso login page were photos taken and shared by googlers. It was just for fun.

random images that are very SFW creep you out? =/
