what's the story? why does this happen on only my computer, and only 50% of the time?

whether or not i get this version of google, or regular google seems to be random, after taking that screenshot i hit F5 and it went back to normal. It's no IP based because my housemate's never seen it before.

I have seen this Google of which you speak. I liked it, and welcomed it, I was deeply hurt when it left without saying a word. :tear:

Google and other companies make unknown changes and technology slips to see how people react to it. Its a new business model it seems many, including MS themselves, are using these days.

So basicly you got lucky enough to see whats in the works and stuff. Its actualy kinda old news at this point. But cool to find anyway i would think.
