Re: WTF happened to Google?
Yes, but you can still turn off a lot of that stuff. Don't use iGoogle and turn off instant search, and it's not a terribly different experience from 10+ years ago.
They continue to make small improvements to their basic search, and I can still find what I'm looking for "above the fold" (i.e., without scrolling) 9 out of 10 times. There's something to be said for that.
