Google weirdness
Okay, so a few days ago I noticed that Google's homepage looked a little bit... different. All of the links at the top (Web, Images, Groups, etc) became more compact, and some of them were replaced with the text "more »". Have I stumbled upon some sort of "magic cookie" that makes everything appear more compact? Is Google discriminating based on my user-agent string, serving a slightly different page to Firebird users?
Has
bitman finally gone crazy?
I mean, it's not as though I mind; I like the compact interface much better. What bugs me is that I can't reproduce it anywhere but at home.
Update
Okay, so I tracked it down to this seemingly innocent cookie:
.google.com TRUE / FALSE 2147368759 PREF ID=33e7cf87274a7184:TM=1033083790:LM=103
I still have no idea how I aquired this cookie. It's handy, though, so I think I'll hang onto it.
