This morning I switched on my PC only to be met by a Google search window covered in pictures. This wasn't the result of iGoogle (Googles personalised area) but infact due to Google decision apparently force users to have images on it's search engine.Some users might like this "pretty" idea, but not me. As a colour-blind person I find this not only destracting, but down right annoying. In addition, it also slows down the load-time of the webpage and for someone like me who searches a lot, that's a big annoyance.
It also seems like they annoyed a few thousand people according to their support forum and this article.
Apparently, tomorrow, Google will give us an option to stop this bahavior. I'm not sure what made them do it in the first place - if I wanted tacky searches I'd use Bing!
If you want to see some of the many thousands of complaints from people about this, take a look here, here and here.
