Anyone noticed this? It's like the page is zoomed in and the search bar is too wide. Tried in two different browsers and looks the same. Really jarring, once you type a search in its like the page gets bigger and a scroll bar is added.

EDIT:
I don't know whether its just that i haven't used FF or IE in ages but google looks different on both of them. I dont get any of the other problems though...
Firefox and Chrome now show the same BIG search buttons and text box. A few days ago the "Web, Images, Video, Maps etc" toolbar disappeared from all of goggles search pages when Mail went down.

Marissa Mayer says - "Although this is a very simple idea and an even simpler change, we're excited about it — because it symbolises our focus on search and because it makes our clean, minimalist homepage even easier and more fun to use."
i could hate Marissa Mayer if i wasn't in love with her.

Oh no, This is a really bad change, it looks ridiculous on a netbook screen, and just looks like someone has zoomed it in.
I saw it last night, ended up checking my settings etc
it just looks 'wrong'
also, stupidly, its not compatible with IE8, have to run it in compatibility view
& why just do it, why not put an explanation on the main page
is 2009 the start of the downward slope for google?
I feel oddly left out again
i know i don't like it.
oh Marissa
It has on mine
It is normal using IE8 for me, it's just strange on Firefox.
Have tried them both and they both still look the same to me, as said, I have even cleared out my cache.
clean out your browser cache completely to notice as it will load a fresh.
It looks odd because I have always thought the Google logo was too small and text box was too high up the page to begin with. Bing and Ask look better centered. Now Google looks even more 1998 and out of proportion.
They need to move the Web, Images, Movie etc search links back above the search box too where it used to be. Its much quicker there instead of up on the far left.
