Go to the website, don't type anything and hit "I'm feeling lucky!", a counter appears. At first it looks like it's a countdown in seconds to new year, but it actually is running faster than seconds, so what could this be?
Someone here mentioned the Bubblemark[1], I forgot which thread, and I tested it myself:
Javascript in Chrome and Firefox is faster than Flash or Flex. But slightly slower in Opera and Safari, and much slower in IE. All on x86, 32-bit Win XP.
But the new year isn't until February 4th! That's when year R turns into year S. Currently we are in day X of month X of year R. http://alphabetclock.com/datetime.html
