Google Uses UI Datepicker
Google let me know that they are using jQuery UI Datepicker on Google Code ( http://code.google.com/events/calendar/add /). This is great news, Google is actually adopting something I wrote! Here is a screenshot:
Google did a nice job of changing the colors to match their site (refer to the screenshot above). I think the simple skin provides an easy way to adopt the datepicker’s look and feel into web applications, but I think that we need new skins for the datepicker. If anyone wants to contribute designs please let me know.
I can’t leave this post without mentioning Keith Wood, thanks for all the great work. And to everyone who has sent me emails and feedback, thanks again!

Thanks Galeel, I updated the article with the new URL.
I guess you didnt see any $$$ or credit (i.e. a link back to your site) after this announcement did you?
Nope, you don’t code open source for money. You code applications based on open source for money. =)
Hello , I am a programmer in HITACHI Software Engineering. It is my honor to using this widget with joy. And I think it is a great component with nice appearance, that is why google adopt it.
And also, do you mind if you offer us a licence or some kind of permission that HITACHI can embed it unto a commercial usage. Just as to google.
Thank you sir. Nice day.
Yao, HITACHI or any other company can freely use the code for commercial purposes because it is under the MIT license.
Thanks again.
And we shall be appreciate about your kindness.
Good day.
There is another datepicker which show a good way to select year. Please have a try. :)

It looks quite ugly.
Skeletons are ugly too, but they are the structure of humanity.
