Google Images restores old design

Google Images
A few weeks ago Google went and changed its design for Google images by cleaning up all that annoying extra data on the screen that you don't need, like the image size and the website where it's located. You could still see that information, but only by scrolling your mouse over the image.

Generally, this made Google Images much less useful. If there are multiple versions of the same image available, it's nice to know which one is the largest at a glance, for example. Or if you're looking for images of a rock band, you might want to know which ones come from the band's official web site.

Now, less than a month after rolling out its site redesign, it looks like Google's reverted back to the older, more informative version of Google images. It's nice to see Google reacting to negative response from users, if in fact that's what they're doing. It's always possible this is just a glitch, or that a new interface could be on its way next week.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
