New Google Search Page?

I was just reading this article comparing Google Search and Bing and I decided to check out both pages. I usually do most of my searching via the Chrome ‘Omnibox,’ or whatever it is called. When I went to www.google.com I noticed that it had a different, slicker appearance than I was used to. The buttons were styled diferently. And then, after about 3 seconds, more content faded in. Anyone know anything about this? How long has it been like this? There are some screenshots in the review I was reading and they don’t even match the new look and feel.

I think they might also be doing some browser sniffing, because it looked better in Chrome than in IE – and not just the normal stuff. It looked like different styles were being applied.

I really like this design. It looks really cool, and the principles are very simple.

Craigslist

Here is an interesting article about Craigslist, in case you missed it – http://www.wired.com/entertainment/theweb/magazine/17-09/ff_craigslist?currentPage=all

I am a regular user of Craigslist, especially the free section. I personally like their minimalist design and think that if it is not broken then there is no need to fix it.
