    Am I the only one who is shellshocked by the google update? If there's one thing I expect to be consistent in my life it's Google :jawdrop:

    I think the reason for my initial dislike is because it's off center now, which isn't too great on a widescreen monitor (it's fixed width too..). Does anyone else here know how to make it center itself?

    I always though it was centered.

    For me the only thing that's different is a cleaner logo (Not prettier, though) and a new font.



    Using google.com, BTW

    Google.no seems the same
    Google.co.uk is also the same, but the L is replaced with a door of some sort.

    That is the door of 10 Downing Street, where the Prime Minister resides (officially; ours lives at no. 11)

    Google hasn't changed for me. I'm using iGoogle, though..

    Has changed before and I was able to change it back by deleting cookies from google, sadly not this time. Really not a fan of it, it's extra clutter.

    Looks and feels like bing.com now. Sad fase.

    Also, why have a link for videos on the side when there is a link at the top?

    Urgh. Horrible. Hopefully there is or will be some way of disabling that.

    I'd assume they'll be getting rid of the top bar and moving to a sidebar style. Makes sense on widescreen if you think about it.

    Mine works fine.

    Google changes a lot. You get to notice this when you have a google script on an eggdrop :wallbash:
