Just imagine how many millions of extra clicks per day

Looks like this is chrome specific. Are you using the Chrome browser? The work-around I found is to use this link instead of the vanilla one.

http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0&hl=en

Did that do it for you?

As I say, please don't take this too seriously... I can endure.

Yes, your link did give me the usual default screen.
No, I am not using Chrome... it is Firefox 3.6.24 updated regularly and automatically via Comcast.net

It is a truly weird, and non-static, situation.
Sometime Google Web comes up normally,
and sometimes with the drop-down menu.

Maybe it depends on my own keystrokes or which previous application I used...
Who knows, I haven't sorted that out yet, myself.

But thanks for your efforts... I do appreciate the help.

I'm getting the same thing, Lamp. They are just "putting the tip in" to use a crude but effective metaphor for the changes they are going to be implementing, like it or not. I did reply to their request for feedback with I hate it.

this is WTF?

... by my reckoning, you're about FIVE major releases away from "updated". Is this Comcast's dealio? Cause, I have Firefox as well, but my version reads 8.0.

I can't do that... it requires Mac Mac OS X 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.5

Upgrading to Mac OSX 10.5 or higher is now multi-$100 deal for me,
and that's not taking into account non-Apple software upgrades that would be needed too.

footfootfoot · 12-07-2011, 02:44 PM

This is why you should buy a pc.

I thought we went through this.

Lamplighter · 12-07-2011, 04:33 PM

Yes but, but, but...

This Mac has been running continuously since 8/11/06
with no hardware failures or repairs,
additional costs for Apple or 3rd-party software, and zero viral infestations.

Doesn't that count for something ?

Oooops, I did replace the original Apple mouse with an optical mouse.

It's almost impossible to get people to change their ways.
But Merc did change at least once (that I know of) from PC to Mac

.

Pete Zicato · 12-07-2011, 04:50 PM

Once you go Mac...

BigV · 12-07-2011, 05:00 PM

pissing me off?

these fucking cats chewing on everything around here.
all the plastic bags and now my cables to my computer. I"ll beat the sh*t out of them if I catch them again. goddammit.
the food is OVER THERE ------------------------------>

Pete Zicato · 12-07-2011, 05:10 PM

Don't have cats, but I've heard a spray water bottle gets their attention.

BigV · 12-07-2011, 05:13 PM

I'm not keen to spray water around my computer gear.

Rubber bands work well if your aim is good.
