Crazy GNOME dock

Linuxdock-1 We all know and (for the most part) love the OS X dock. Well, now there’s a dock that not only can hold icons for applications, but also have those icons bounce around the corners of your screen and come in contact with each other using real-world physics. Of course, the one problem with this dock is that it isn’t actually an OS X program, but one for GNOME, a GUI for Linux. The dock achieves its real-world physics feel from the Akamaru physics engine which powers it. A video demo of the dock can be found either here or on Google Video.
