Screenshots of a new results page on Google.com have been floating around the web for a few months now. The new 'style' had only been accessible to an apparently random selection of beta users, and members of Google's very exclusive pre-release group. Until now.
The new UI sports information on results in other sections (images, groups, froogle and news) that core users don't tend to use (screenshot). We've seen efforts in the past to combine the different categories together (e.g. image results at the top of normal search queries) and the latest design reflects a desire to spread interest across the sections. The new UI also cleans up the head of the page (significantly), and loses the light blue background bar indicating which page users are on.
To view the new UI, follow these simple steps...
1. Head over to google.com
2. In the address bar, paste one of the javascript commands
3. Enter a search query, and voila!
For UK and NL users, we've similar javascript commands to do the trick (see below). Other localised readers simply need to change the domain= element to reflect their locality. Our thanks to Brandon Live in the forums for the javascript magic.

Here she is at the "Rose Ball" on Saturday, in Monaco. Doesn't she look like Katie Holmes a little? I mean, without the fat belly and Tom Cruise
She's truely
Just in case you thought her amazingness ran out. Here is a scan I made from the back cover of a magazine I found in the newsroom. It's Daria Werbowy. It's a Chanel ad. It's a great shot.
Looks like Kristin Cavallari’s supposed romance with Nick Lachey is over. Page Six reports:
YOUNG love in Hollywood is fickle. “Laguna Beach” mean girl Kristin Cavallari is back with her ex-boyfriend Brody Jenner after Jessica Simpson’s soon to be ex-husband Nick Lachey gave her the boot. “Nick didn’t want to freak everyone out - she was too young and he knew it would look bad,” said our spy.
Her publicist has done such a killer job of keeping her in the press. We do agree that while Nick and Kristin would be a good looking couple, Nick should be dating someone a little older and more mature. He has already gone through the heart break of marrying a young girl who happened to be a rising star. No need to deal with that again. Besides, Brody is hot so Kristin should be happy with what she’s got. Here’s a picture of them from happier days.
Gwyneth was seen recently bundled up in NYC but maybe she was hiding out after the baby name rumors from last week. Supposedly she said she will be naming her unborn son after her godfather Steven Spielberg whom she calls Uncle Morty which is short for Mortimer. She might have been joking but after naming her baby girl Apple, who knows what Gwyneth and Chris will decide.
Katie is in the final few weeks of her pregnancy and she still manages to put on a smile for the cameras. She supposedly had her baby shower yesterday at the Scientology Center in Hollywood. This picture was taken later that evening as she took a walk with her mom and Tom’s mom at their Beverly Hills mansion.

Britney took her man to Vegas for a birthday celebration but then it was back to work for K-Fed. He was being interviewed at an Atlanta radio station. The couple were then seen that night at Club Vision in Atlanta (it was a continuation of the radio station promotion). Britney is looking all dolled up while K-Fed wears the same outfit he always does.

Seriously, what is she thinking? How could anyone even look at her pretty blue eyes when she is wearing a dress like this. She so loves her fake breasts and that would be OK if she could dress them right. She needs to learn to contain them more. And what’s with the handcuff purse? So much for trying to make herself over - she screams hooker at the Meghan fashion show.
Jennifer Garner has dropped the Starbucks cups for some Fred Segal shopping bags. She looks to be enjoying a little alone time and even gets friendly with the cameras for us. I am looking forward to seeing how they will end Alias this season. The show has been dying a slow death but now I have to see it through to see how it all comes together. Besides, supposedly Michael Vartan and Bradley Cooper will be back so that makes us want to tune in as well.

But the difference between Kwizzical and all those other guys is that we take the money that advertisers give us and sort of spread it around a bit. A little for the winners, a piece for some charity, and the crumbs for us—you know, just enough to keep the lights on.

It's already being exploited by hackers who are using hijacked Web servers and compromised Web sites to launch a wave of attacks against Microsoft browser users.
The exploited servers and sites are dropping a variant of SDbot, which is a family of backdoors which provide hackers with total access to infected computers.
Microsoft says the impact is limited so far. But security experts aren't so sure the attacks won't spread like wildfire.

The producers of Steven Spielberg’s TV miniseries Into the West have been sued over a haircut given to one of the actresses involved.The eight-year-old Mescalero Apache girl, who plays a boy in the series because the casting call apparently failed to bring in enough male extras, had her hair cut by a stylist in order "to make her look more 'Indian' and like a male Indian child," the suit specifies.
But the Mescalero tradition forbids cutting a girl’s hair untilshe's reached puberty, and now Christina Ponce’s family has sued both the stylist and show producers Turner Films Inc. claiming they weren’t asked permission before their daughter's hair was lopped off.
"Just because you're wealthy, you don't do something without checking first," fumed the girl’s father Danny Ponce.
To prepare for womanhood, Mescalero girls take part in a sacred coming-of-age ceremony that requires their hair to reach the waist. Before it was cut, Christina's hair reached midway down her back. It has since grown to about her collar.
"This has to do with the culture of a tribal member," Ponce said.
The suit was filed in federal court on March 6th, and seeks $250,000 for emotional distress and $75,000 in damages.
The production company hasn’t commented on the suit.
According to legal documents, Christina Ponce responded to the show's open casting call through her parents last March.
BUNGLING crooks who robbed a van on its way to Heathrow got away with £75million — in MONOPOLY money. The gang snatched the white Ford Transit from a street — convinced it was crammed with genuine currency. But it was carrying hundreds of copies of the family board game, plus bundles of worthless Monopoly £500 and £100 notes to be used in an ad campaign.
Police last night vowed to send the hopeless Great Game Robbers straight to jail — WITHOUT passing Go. One detective quipped: “There will be no Get Out Of Jail free card for these chancers when we catch them. And they won’t be collecting £200 either.”
The brand new liquid petroleum gas van was stolen as its driver made a delivery in Slough, near the airport. A courier was due to drive it to Heathrow next day, so its cargo could be loaded on a plane to Czech capital Prague.
Inside were copies of a new express travel version of the traditional property-buying game — and piles of notes issued by the fictional Bank of Monopoly. They were to be used as props in a commercial by makers Hasbro, being filmed in Prague to highlight how Monopoly has become an international game. One scene was to show notes raining down over the city on to happy players.
Police are working on the theory that word got around the criminal world that an important shipment was in transit — and that somehow the gang became convinced that real money was involved. A police source said: “Apparently the driver left his keys in the van and came back to see a man inside trying to start it.
“He tried to haul the thief from the vehicle but was unsuccessful and it sped off.”
The van was spotted ten days after the theft, but its contents had gone. A 32-year-old man at the wheel was arrested and was last night being held on remand.

SAUGUS, Calif. - Sonia Goldstein was flattered by the nice recruiting letter asking her to consider becoming one of "the few, the proud." But at age 78, she believes she's just a little old to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps.
"I couldn't believe it," Goldstein told KCAL-TV on Friday. "My girls were sitting here ... we were in hysterics, we laughed so hard."
The letter told her the corps could use her unique language skills, but also warned that life as a Marine would test her physical and mental abilities "beyond anything you've ever known."
"There I am with my walker. I can't maneuver from here to there without it," said Goldstein, who added that her only language is English.
"I'll do whatever I could for this wonderful country we live in," she said. "But you know, this is kind of stretching it a bit."
The Marines ordinarily recruit people 18 to 27, said Maj. Joseph Kloppel, a corps spokesman. He said the letter must have been sent by mistake.
"Seventy-eight is obviously too old," Kloppel added.

Bosses at a Stockholm hospital have asked a nurse called Jesus to change his name, after concerns that it might cause confusion among patients.
According to Jesus, an auxiliary nurse at Huddinge hospital, his superiors were worried that patients told "Jesus will be coming soon ," might get the wrong idea.
"If they thought that Jesus was coming they might believe that they were already dead," the nurse said. Jesus will now use his middle name Manuel.
Brad Pitt, 42, and Angelina Jolie, 30, are finally rumored to be coming home! After two months of vacationing in Europe -- making stops in major European cities like Berlin, London and Paris -- the globetrotting pair was last seen at the airport leaving Paris this morning with their son Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 4, and daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 1. Thank's To JJB
KIRSTEN DUNST's new period movie MARIE-ANTOINETTE has been selected to compete at the coveted Cannes Film Festival in May
Brad Pitt's publicist has slammed reports that there is anything wrong with the actor's face, after he reportedly showed up at an elegant Paris, France, restaurant with bruises and a swollen lip. Pitt was spotted at the posh L'Avenue restaurant on Monday, where patrons claim he looked a little worse for wear. A fellow diner tells In Touch magazine, "He had a nasty bruise on his face, a swollen lip and eye."
Now I don't like to speculate, but I speculate that Brad got his ass handed to him during a lusty romp with Angelina Jolie. There's nothing sexier than getting punched in the face during sex, though the girls I've dated seem to have mixed feelings about it. I guess they have different ideas about what constitutes a good birthday present.
Colin Farrell and Kate Moss are allegedly phone-dating after they started bonding in rehab. An insider is quoted as saying: "Since they're both working on their sobriety, they completely understand the struggle. Plus, they both happen to be very attracted to one another."
You know it's true too, because they were photographed together in a car. See that picture? With your eyes? Yeah, that's a real picture. I made took it myself. And afterwards they took off their clothes and started making out. Just give me a couple more hours with Photoshop and I'll prove it.

Paris, France :: Brad Pitt, 42, and Angelina Jolie, 30, are finally rumored to be coming home! After two months of vacationing in Europe -- making stops in major European cities like Berlin, London and Paris -- the globetrotting pair was last seen at the airport leaving Paris this morning with their son Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 4, and daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 1. The heavy artillery was called in this time as armed officers guarded and escorted the Pitt family through the airport. Traveling by air for pregnant women should be fine if you are in good health -- which I'm sure Angelina is -- and you’re more than 6 weeks away from your due date. Angelina is well into her third trimester, so will this be the last of Angelina's international travels? And I must point this out -- Zahara's got a new blue bandana! You go, girl.
