Well, Netvibes was down yesterday which was kind of expected since it was the hot topic of the week with the news of them adding the Box.net module and getting some much deserved VC funding from a handful of investors. Never the less, the outage did force me to roll back to more primitive methods of getting to the information I was after.

Google News
Seems someone found a hack to get Google to look a little different than usual. Here is the code to change the look of Google Search results:
javascript:alert(document.cookie="PREF=ID=fb7740f107311e46:
TM=1142683332:LM=1142683332:S=fNSw6ljXTzvL3dWu;
path=/;domain=.google.com")

You can copy and paste the code directly into the URL bar and it should work, unless you are not in the US, in which case you have to change the country abbreviation to your own, i.e. domain=.google.com to domain=.google.co.uk.
