That's exactly how I reacted. My god, I'm a nerdinat0r.
Q5echo: Google just changed it's buttons up the top (you know, 'image', 'web' and so on) so that they're just text, as opposed to graphic buttons. For a google addict like me, it's damn off-putting.

I feel so special now. It's not one of those special changes they do for holidays, rather a subtle little change that I have yet to explore...

Think about how many hits they get per day. Converting the image tags in the HTML code to text links probably saves them a fortune in bandwidth costs.

But they're changing something. Google never changes.
Seriously though, agreed. The thing is, once you get used to something, any kind of change is originally a shock. People will be groaning and arguing about this for awhile, but eventually they'll get used to it and the objections will subside.

Ugh, that's awful. Do a search for "trance addict" and every result bar one returned (only 26 matches for trance addict?) is to about.com (the other one was to some car website). That's taking corporate whoring to a new level. And people accuse google searches being biased towards commercial interests? I am doing something wrong?
Damn you Google!
