Actually, that was the unveiling of their new killer app, “Google Space”. It’s a rebranded version of a product made by Margn, the start-up they bought last year (it’s rumored Microsoft has a competitor in the works, codenamed “Zowie”). Good investment, guys!

Oh god, it’s driving me insane. At least I know I’m not the only person to notice. :)

I noticed the new left margin immediately. I was a little worried at first I was on a scam or phishing site or something that wasn’t the real Google.

I was so used to its appearance that the new results page is hard to look at. It’s driving me nuts. It’s like seeing a guy you’ve know for years shave off his beard, or a girl get a completely different hair color. Look away!
