it is a disable-able option.

I tried it out. Wasn't giving useful results. Not sure if it's a deliberate attempt from Google to pretend to be 'unaware' of what's in the inbox all these days.

grrr. train it for a couple of days. mark the messages as important and not important. and then see if it works. it has started marking the mails properly for me here.

since you are on firefox...
checked google uk on firefox 4 beta. its visible there too.

so probably a dns related thing.

Nope, tried directly with IP address.. still not showing.. but anyway..saw it in video.

well when i ping google.co.uk from my computer it shows Google

but i do not see the doodle on this IP

 

[amish]

when i do:

nslookup www.google.co.ukwww.google.co.uk        canonical name = www.google.comwww.google.com  canonical name = www.l.google.comName:   www.l.google.comAddress: 209.85.153.104

But that IP is Mumbai IP, bom01s01-in-f104.1e100.net. (nslookup 209.85.153.104)

But logo showing shows "Google UK"

So looks like Google takes u to nearest server regardless of domain's country.

yeap. grrrr. of course this is to prevent people in india to check their site's ranking on google uk and other regions i remember we had to rely on proxy tools to check rankings in the country where the client was based.
