Google images change...

[CosmicCowboy]

Wow...big difference...I don't think I like the new look...

[Cry Havoc]

wat

[spursfan1000]

I don't see a difference?

[Drachen]

He must have searched for something different and thought it was an inherent change in google images. LOL

[xXx]

Is everyone already using their custom backgrounds as well?

I think you have to have an account and be logged in, but if I remember correctly, you may even be able to upload your own photo for the background...


I confirmed it...here's mine.

congratulations. google is storing every single search you or your family do in their massive databases. They are also going to analize it to custom the ads you see...

[clambake]

the brainwashing of that little kid has already begun.

[Spurminator]

OMG that's horrible! Who wants to see advertising that is relevant to their interests?

[IronMexican]

I don't want people to see how much porn I search for.

what are you searching for that you want no one to see? :lol

I have nothing to hide. They can store and analyze to their hearts content.

do you have a problem with washing? do you not bathe?

[hater]

what are you searching for that you want no one to see? :lol


what is the fun of google search then???

[clambake]

poor little kid.

[CosmicCowboy]

Are you guys saying that google images looks the same to you today as it did last week? On my computer theres about 10 times the images per page and it no longer gives you the size/location under the picture...then if you click on one the interface is different on the next screen...

hmmmm.

[hater]

you are not understanding the fact they store it in their databases. That is forever

so when your wife wants a divorce 10 years from now, she could possibly present the fact that you are too obsessed to take care of your kid because you are obsessed with ___ (fill in whatever you often search for. everyone has a hobby cars, guns, girls, etc)

[xXx]

poor little kid.

Now go repeat that to a mirror.

[TIMMYD!]

I like the new design, much easier to navigate.

[clambake]

Now go repeat that to a mirror.

why? what will happen?

You overestimate forever regarding these databases...:lol

There is only one database that is forever.

I can assure you that my wife will not divorce me as I love her and my sons will all of my heart.

I would die to protect them, as would all Good Fathers.

What you want is to be able to hide your tracks from things you should not be doing. There is an easy solution to that. Just don't do the things you should not be doing. :lol

Nothing that you don't wish to happen.

[hater]

"Google builds up a detailed profile of your search terms over many years. Google probably knew when you last thought you were pregnant, what diseases your children have had, and who your divorce lawyer is."

-- BBC technology commentator Bill Thompson, Feb. 21, 2003

"I don't like that its cookies expire 35 years from now, and that it records all my searches including the embarrassing ones."

-- Technology writer and blogger Chris Gulker, March 7, 2003

[clambake]

how do you know?

[hater]

As stated in its privacy policy, Google makes a note of things like the time you visited, your internet address and the type of browser you are using. All this is recorded in what's known as a log file.It's also standard practice for web servers to keep track of this information, so Google isn't doing anything unusual.

What does this look like? Here's a simplified example of how our search for "cars" might appear in Google's logs:

inktomi1-lng.server.ntl.com - 25/Mar/2003 10:15:32 - http://www.google.com/search?q=cars" - MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1 - 740674ce2123e969

Even in the simplified fashion I've shown, the example may still look like a mess to you. It makes more sense, when broken down:

inktomi1-lng.server.ntl.com
(my internet address, resolved to a domain name)

25/Mar/2003 10:15:32
(date and time I searched)

http://www.google.com/search?q=cars
(my search request, containing the word cars in it)

MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1
(shows the browser I used and operating system,
MS Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP)

740674ce2123e969
(my unique cookie ID,
assigned to my browser the first time I visited)

[hater]

so google saves your search even if you are not logged in. The difference is ISPs usually clean up their logs every year or so. Google plans to NEVER clean up this stored information.

so searching without logging in is bad, searching while logged in is 100x worse

god doesn't need a database to see what you're doing.

I guess me and clambake are among the few remaining that still beleive in privacy

hmmmm.

Cowboy, mine looks exactly as always. Both on my Google desktop, and mobile on my phone. Don't know what may be going on with yours.

Weird. Are y'all running Windows 7?

Mine was dramatically different from one day to the next.

I thought it might be Chrome, but it looked the same in IE.

[clambake]

its because of that agency rant you went on about your property.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Looks like they are trying to be more like Bing's set up. I'm not a fan of the change.

[CosmicCowboy]

Looks like they are trying to be more like Bing's set up. I'm not a fan of the change.

so yours changed too?

Maybe it just manifests in windows 7.

[mrsmaalox]

Yes Windows 7 and IE. If they've made a change, it apparently hasn't caught up with me.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I don't think all of San Antonio has been updated on the interwebs.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Actually I'm using Mozilla and my old ass office computer is still running on XP.

[CuckingFunt]

Only change I've noticed is the options on the left of the screen to refine your search, but that happened months ago.

[mrsmaalox]

I don't think all of San Antonio has been updated on the interwebs.

Naw it's just my interweb :(

[Viva Las Espuelas]

So, CC are you using a bookmark for google or did you click some link? Post the URL of the page that has you perplexed.

[CosmicCowboy]

Example: Image search ShelbyGT500

http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&biw=929&bih=905&q=shelby+gt500&gbv=2&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=Shelby&gs_rfai=

How many images are on that page for you? For me, there's just 18.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

def got the change over here on win7
i noticed late last night. its just a page jam packed with images and you can hover to enlarge one. i like it alot for my typical app

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Are you guys saying that google images looks the same to you today as it did last week? On my computer theres about 10 times the images per page and it no longer gives you the size/location under the picture...then if you click on one the interface is different on the next screen...

I'm getting all you say you aren't.

[CosmicCowboy]

How many images are on that page for you? For me, there's just 18.

There are 8 "pages" on the page...as I scroll down it says page 1, page 2, page 3, etc. There are literally several hundred images on the page edge to edge.

Then a button at the bottom of the page that says "show more results" and it keeps the first 8 pages and then went up to page 14....still on the same page.

If you hold the cursor over any given picture (not clicking) it enlarges and adds the size and location of the image.

[koriwhat]

yeah it's different... i don't know if i like the format but whatever. btw, vista at work & chrome.

what a pedo.
you're one sick sick man! :cuss

[Viva Las Espuelas]

OS's don't affect how web pages look. Effect?

[Sisk]

[CosmicCowboy]

It's just really strange it's changed for some and not others.

[hater]

It's just really strange it's changed for some and not others.

So it starts. they have probably started to segregate users. Next we know some users will be forced to search in ghettoes and wear armbands

[CosmicCowboy]

:lmao

[CosmicCowboy]

Hmmm....seems like every new search is started as "moderate filter". You have to reset your preferences if you want it "no filter"

[koriwhat]

OS's don't affect how web pages look. Effect?

yes and no... they could have a javascript or something similar that does change depending on which browser or os the user is using.

btw, affect not effect. good job!

[DJ Mbenga]

hate the new look. makes things slower

hmmmm.

I got the change about two days ago. I don't like it.

[redzero]

I like the new design, much easier to navigate.

[TheKingOfMIA6]

I don't want people to see how much porn I search for.

lol

[baseline bum]

It looks like shit. Why the fuck do I want to load 500 images at the exact same time?

[mrsmaalox]

Okay it just caught up with me and I don't think I like it :nope

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I like it

[velik_m]

It's just really strange it's changed for some and not others.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A/B_testing

[sonic21]

it's still normal for me.

[CosmicCowboy]

it's still normal for me.

Google doesn't like you.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

yes and no... they could have a javascript or something similar that does change depending on which browser or os the user is using.

btw, affect not effect. good job!

I'm glad I passed that test.

Yes, I was going to go back and edit my statement to say that different browsers affect a websites look moreso than OS's, but I was being lazy.

[Nathan Explosion]

I passed the test. Of course, I use Google Chrome to go online so I better pass the test. My question is, while I haven't really looked, how do you create a personal background on Google?

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I passed the test. Of course, I use Google Chrome to go online so I better pass the test. My question is, while I haven't really looked, how do you create a personal background on Google?

Its on the bottom left corner of the Google home page, it says "change background image"

[Kori Ellis]

It changed for me today...and I hate it.

[mrsmaalox]

So did everyone get the old style Google image search back? I just noticed mine was back a couple of days ago. Happy, happy, joy, joy :spin
