Okay, I did some searching and did not find any results regarding this new change so forgive me if it's been said. I was searching for some digital camera images today on Google and noticed that they implicated a new interface with the hover information like MSN.
Never mind... it went back or maybe I was hallucinating... but I'm pretty sure I saw that the URL's disappeared, and showed up in a light blue box if you hover over it. Oh my god... I wish I had screenshotted it, I thought it was going to be permanent.
It's okay. I searched for "new google images layout". So I basically used google to find google. Haha. Here's a link to a picture of what I'm describing posted on August: http://16bits.org/blog/2006/08/10/a-glimpse-into-Google-Images-new-user-interface/ and another one posted in October: http://www.flyingwithfire.com/2006/10/22/i-can-see-a-test-google-images-layout/ oh, and if anyone was wondering, I was using Internet Explorer, so I didn't have any extensions or whatnot.
