    Looks completely normal to me. Are you sure you haven't been hit with a bit of spyware?

    they randomly test new layouts, looks like you were selected as a test subject (aka guinea pig)

    Prob only doing it on one datacenter which means only a handfull of people would see it. Im not sure why they would want to change thier design after all this time anyway. Google is as big as it is because of its simple design.

    You are just a random selected tester for a new layout... It is going on since many months. Deleting your cookies you'll get back you normal layout.

    I'm guessing it'll be at the bottom or they might have removed it?

    Removing it would be a bad thing. It's a useful function.

    I've had similar experiences, but right now it's still normal just like it was before. They've been slowly testing new layouts on different accounts.

    fsmedia I saw another blog post with a different snapshot and that one had green bars next to the links on the left, did you see that?

    That dropdown is news to me though!
