Do you want to see the new look of Google?? You can take a look using your IE and Firefox browsers currently. I tried using ChromePlus but it didn’t seem to work. Please, keep me updated with your experiences.

Firstly go to your browser and type www.google.com. Your last visited address should be Google. Then carefully copy and paste this command to your browser’s address line (replacing everything including http://www.google.com).

javascript:void(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com”);

Soft coating effects on top and stainless steel rim rounding the edges makes this 2.4 GHz mouse flashy. It’s very comfortable to use and connects to your computer via a tiny USB knot. It is only 65.7×88.3×40.2mm in size and weighs in at 115g, powered by a single AAA battery.  It’s available for ¥ 8000, about $90, in Japan but we do not yet have details on US and Canada delivery.
