Preview Google's New Search Results Page

ubermiester writes "Ars Technica demonstrates how to copy and paste a bit of JavaScript to preview a facelifted Google. Ars points out that 'the changes are minimal, but they give some insight into Google's plans.'" I thought we already knew those: world domination.

    Apparently the first step towards world domination is to move the category tabs to the left of the search results. Ooh, I'm scared too.

    You could go to digg and find out what Steve Jobs had for breakfast.

    I bet it was really cool and trendy, and worked way better than what Bill Gates had for breakfast.

    Whats with the green bars? I first thought Google was showing the DHS terror threat color code, which is now green, meaning SAFE?

    Indeed, that's not worth discussing. Han DID shoot first, and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot (including George Lucas).

    Thank you for mentioning this. I thought Google was going nuts, but I never saw it again, so I thought I was going nuts.

    At least if I'm going nuts, it's going to manifest itself in some other, more interesting (or at least entertaining) way.

    The best minds in the world, all of whom have been hire by Google, came up with that new UI. I'm simply blown away by how good it is. It needs to be reported in every single media outlet on the planet because it's so earth shattering. You've really gotta hand it to Google - it makes the efforts of mere mortals look paltry by comparison. I don't know why /. even has news stories about other companies.
