#2Is there a way to hide the left hand column? I actually find it really distracting.
Also in FF 3.6.3 the text is not centered vertically in the search box. It's an FF CSS issue. I've seen it a few times before.

#3TechCrunch's take: http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/06/google-redundant-ui/ (tl;dr side bar + top bar = redundancy)

#5I really like the color change on the homepage. I've been on the beta for this for about a month and I've enjoyed it for the most part.

#7we tried to take all the things we strive for at Google and make them better: powerful technology, snappy results, simplicity and a fun and quirky personality
Yes! This is totally what was missing for me. I had great search results from Google every time, but where was the fun? Where was the quirky personality damn it?

#8I find the sidebar annoying, but perhaps more so because we have used google without it for so long. I tend to agree with techcrunch that there is redundancy in the side and top bar. New logo is good, search box is ok...but this modern style of it and the buttons seems out of place and more distracting then anything.
The search features on the side are nice...but I used them so rarely in the past and don't see myself using them any more now. It seems like google wants me to spend more time searching then clicking links, when in reality I usually use google as a quick 10 second shortcut to finding info. The last time I clicked "next" on a search was........a long time ago.

I use the time-based filtering all the time now. I didn't really expect to when I first started in the beta. It's incredibly helpful when searching on topics that undergo wholesale changes often (e.g. the vast majority of technology). Without using the filtering I get frustrated with Google results with high PR that end up being horribly outdated.
