Whats up with google?

I dont know about you guys but I dont want to see a pretty picture load every time I do a search.

I feel like they are copying off bing. Why?

[mofo]

they are copying off bing. except for that bing is better in that their background is interactive and you can learn about the background. i miss the plain old google.

exactly, the bing page looks a lot better.

i just dont get why google feels the need to even put up a picture. they are clearly the search king, why copy from second best? makes them seem desperate.

Not sure what you mean. I don't get a picture when I do a search.

Mine is plain it does have a couple of links that say "change background image"

[Bouncer]

mine comes up automatically with no option to turn it off.

[Bouncer]

I logged out of my gmail, cleared cookies and it's still the normal search screen. Sounds like they are in the middle of testing things.

lol. I saw on the news last night that Google was trying to do the whole background thing but it caused such an uproar that they stopped.
