I have not done a “Geek”, I mean, truly dorky geeky, entry for weeks. So here it goes…
Apparently Google has been working on a new user interface for its famously simple (read: bland but fast) user interface. For months, I have noticed Grace’s Camino browser always produces a different Google UI. At first I thought that’s one of those perks Camino offers as a browser. But now I know it’s probably some kind of deal struck by the Camino project and Google to test out the new UI.
If you are anxious to try out the new Google UI, Ars Technica has a hack, which I will go over below.

4. Start searching and enjoy the new UI!
