yeah, johnrp is referring to the standard "poof" when you drag an alias (?) off the dock to remove it. and yes, that (oh, and ink) are remnants of the good ol' newton os.
The dock itself seems to be something of an adaptation of the newton's 'dock'. I'm not sure what it's called on the newt, but there is a toolbar at the bottom (or top or sides) of the screen that you could drag applications to for quick access.

The Newton called it 'soup', but it's essentially the same thing. I think that, with a rich meta-data underlayer, we're going to see the rebirth of this concept.

I see none.
Or are you referring to the puff when you drag an item off of the dock?
