The "bar" part of a progress bar is usually useless. What's nice is
being able to see that things are actually getting loaded (e.g., Safari
displays "completed M of N items", where both M and N change; Opera also
displays something similar; Firefox displays a mostly-useless progress bar).
I feel like the throbber should somehow indicate that things are
actually being loaded (as opposed to hanging, waiting for something
which may never complete). Maybe it already does that and I haven't
noticed (where's a good hanging website when you need one to test?).
