How infuriating, cause it's working for me. And they've made loads of improvements too...they've added an Ask Jobs button, which is linked directly to Steve and you can ask him anything. He's just given me the release dates of Tiger and the G5 Powerbooks.
I had to let him go after awhile though, something about squashing de Plums and Jeeves?! Man, unlucky that you can't access it!

Are you sure you guys aren't actually getting GoogleX from your browser cache? GoogleX isn't working for me either, and it's not showing up on the Google Labs page anymore either (it used to be there). Try emptying your cache and then reloading the page.
yay!
I love it! Google is the search engine of my choice so I enjoy this a lot. I like the little 'OS X' poem on the bottom. Nice touch

I clicked on the link for the first time just before my original post, this was after people started reported the link as dead. And I've just emptied my cache and tried again - still working. Odd
They freaking took it down.
The requested URL was not found on this server.
My son is going to think I've lost my mind (more than he already does) when he reads his e-mail. I sent him a link this morning. What is Google thinking? Boneheads...

Ya think!? That would really stink. It was an homage to OS X for the most part. I can't believe that would happen...JtheLemur said:

Pretty sure since the first time it was from my desktop in the IT dept and the next was from a server in our server room.
Still up and running and I did delete my cache as well. I'll try it again when I get home. Maybe our proxy is caching the page.
shucks. Must have been my proxy. Oh well. Apple legal strikes again. ***holes. MS is starting to look like a saint compared to Apple now a days. What a world.
Worked for me earlier, now it's not. Someone joked about how Apple would sue them, apparently that wasn't a joke!
Fishes,

true, i am wondering why it was shut down though, it surprises me that it was
i actually doubt that Apple legal had anything to do with it right now, happened too fast if you ask me, however, maybe bandwith issues? but i doubt that as well
who knows, but i would like to know
The site's down now. Pressure from Apple? From Google higher-ups? It irks me that it's gone.
For those who missed it and want to see it in action, I saved a movie for my brother. It just shows how inept I am at moving a mouse with a trackball (didn't plan on a larger audience), but it does show what the site looked like. Click on the pic to download the movie.
