Nice. That's more of an aileron roll, though. A barrel roll has an accompanying corkscrew motion of your velocity vector along with the rotation.

For those who aren’t using a compatible browser: right after the page loads, a screenshot of your view of the page rotates 360° as if in a barrel roll. The page is then a normal, functioning Google results page.

Note the bug: "do a barrel roll" skyrocketed at the top of the suggestion lists for "do a ". So if you have Google Instant enabled, just typing "do a " will instant-search "do a barrel roll" and trigger the effect. I'm sure this wasn't intended.

Actually, according to a recent Google blog post, this is exactly what should happen for hot trending searches. They tweaked the algorithm to make hot search topics bubble up in the suggestion box and return relevant results for recent news.
