Ok this deserves the top page: an article about things years old on TC and the author is claiming this are signs of recent strategical changes. This is really high quality stuff...
Today I typed into Google, L.A. to San Diego
A few months ago when I did the same thing Google gave a link to the map/directions/distance.. today it gave me an ad "Limo from L.A. to San Diego," next to the map without the directions.
Way to put the dollar ahead of the user experience...thats how you got to where you are. Simple UI that provides instant gratification, but today and hopefully only today Google was MySpace!

Who cares. Mostly retards and IE users click on ads. That's why I love wordpress's strategy so much (only show ads to IE users).
Google needs to figure out display. Really needs to. or someone else will.

Neither of these are new, they've been doing this for months if not years.
