Playing PAC-MAN on Google's Homepage

I played PAC-MAN on Google's homepage! I'm not kidding! You may want to try it, it might just still be available. Good thing I have something here to capture my screen. Here's my game, saved for posterity. :D



P.S. Google did this in celebration of PAC-MAN's 30th anniversary. That goes without saying that we're talking of the REAL PAC-MAN here and not Manny Pacquiao. :P

Update:

Here's the two-player version.



To play the two-player version, click on the Insert Coin button twice.

Google's New Search Result Page

Google has rolled out their new search result page just a few minutes ago. The most noticeable change being the search options (at least some of it) being permanently visible on the left side of the page.

Compared to the previous version, you need to click on the More options link to see the search options.

Another is the list of results labeled as "Top Links" which appears to the right of the main results when you select the "Latest" option.

Seems like SEOs have a new nut to crack. :)

IMO, the new design looks very nice, it's much more pleasing to the eye than the previous one. I wonder what else it does differently.
