Experience Google’s new look
Google has been testing a new look with a small percent of visitors. I wrote a bookmarklet that lets you make Google show you the new look:
(Drag it to your bookmarks bar, visit google.com, and click on the bookmark.)
It works by changing the ID in your Google cookie to 102c51875a8839e9, the ID of one of the visitors Google randomly selected to test the new look. If your ID is already 102c51875a8839e9, it sets it 0000000000000000 (anonymous), letting you switch between the old and new looks quickly. Since the bookmarklet only changes the ID part of the cookie, it preserves your settings, such as the number of results per page.
Thanks to jcurious for pointing out the Neowin thread in which "poind" posted the ID from his Google cookie.
Update March 28, 2004: Google is now showing the new look by default. The bookmarklet no longer has any visible effect.
Update January 27, 2005: iMilly has created a modified version of this bookmarklet to anonymize your Google cookie.

That Google is so hot right now. Google.
Apparently Google is getting a makeover after several years of being the It-search engine. From what I’ve seen, they got rid of their tab-switch bar in favor of small text-links and slimmed down the text bar. Maybe it’s a move…
