Google is criticized for never updating their style and never taking design risks. They are now updating their style and taking design risks. Some people will never be happy.

I can never understand this sort of comment. Obviously the people who criticise the lack of updates are not the same people who are criticising the update. This observation can only make sense if you aggregate the public into a single person represented by the loudest complaining minority's opinion at any given time. Well, yes, then that person would be wildly inconsistent. But it doesn't actually exist.

  At the time the entire comment thread was filled with people complaining about the new look and how awful it was. I am thoughtlessly grouping a large group of people together and making an argument against them. My bad.

Don't google make dozens of changes tiny changes a day to their search page?

I don't think it's fair to say they never take design risks considering the redesign of their homepage a while back where they made everything but the search interface invisible unless you moved the mouse.

  I had forgotten about that one. When did it disappear?

I'm surprised Google kept the I'm Feeling Lucky button. When was the last time someone used it on purpose? The rumor I heard last week was that the button was on the chopping block.

  And now with instant search you can't even click that button anymore...

    If you click the I'm Feeling Lucky button before typing something in the search bar, it takes you to the Google Logos history page. I'm not sure if this feature is indeed new, or if the button already did that before the UI update.

    In the suggestions of the instant search results page if you hover a suggestion there you have the 'Im feeling lucky' as a link. Not like before but they didnt remove it
