It's rare that google makes a change that doesn't add something new and cool - wonder if this will be beneficial in the end... people searching generally read left to right - wonder if they'll be adding some premium ad space in that area?
I think Google had done on change their new theme completely. Because I cannot avoid that ugly sidebar in every Google I entered. Arghhhh!!
And useless so far. You almost have the same links both to the top of the page and into that left sidebar.
Well, design is changed a bit...I think the Google workers learned how to work with PhotoShop so they made new design hahah
