If you guys haven't noticed already...
...google has cut back their already snappy loading search pages by reducing the GUI even more.

Quote:
"About 12:00 am Central Time, at least when I saw it, Google changed it's face. Before it was a simplistic search engine, with a minimal front page, and now has become even more so. Those pretty tabs we have become accustomed to are now gone, and in the search results, the "summary" section at the top is now a faded blue bar (see here with a search returning ads). And the ads are a little more low key. Nice to know they are cutting back on their interface rather than adding spastically like Yahoo." Other folks noted that they've added Froogle and Local Directory pages have now been given links on the front page. Which is good, since inclusion in the main page tends to mean ready for prime time.

Wow...I've not been to Google's home page in a while. I have Mozilla set to search with Google, so I just type my search into the address bar and go.

Google is my home page, I would say 98 percent of my searches are done on google. I hardly visit yahoo anymore and have almost forgot about my yahoo email and my.yahoo.com page.
